Post Body

Hi everyone I'm seriously considering an OU degree, however I don't know that it's worth the £20k debt.

I'm currently middle management and doing well in my career so it's not like I need a degree to progress.

I fancy it as a test to myself but it's the £20k debt that puts me off to be honest. Is it worth it in my situation?
