I got offered a place in UCD. Arts. Fucking yes. Anybody do this kind of thing at this age? I'm kinda scared about it. But absolutely delighted at the same time.

Fair play man. 26 myself & I started back last year. Same boat as yourself. Dropped out first time round and got fed up with crummy jobs & whatnot. I'm going at nights which I thought would be a lot tougher than it actually is. Doing film, literature & drama in DBS. Kind of looking for work in production companies at the moment but they're few and far between if you don't have experience or know people. But yeah, stick with it man. You won't regret it.Thank you! I did Arts originally but I got international arts with german which i hated so i dropped out after a year. I've been working poxy jobs for the last 6 years. I'm 26 now. I want to be a teacher. I'm so happy it's unreal. I've also drank 6 pints today. Back of the net.
cheers for the info benni. i've heard that's a good place to start. it's a tough industry to get into, especially if you're a little bit older, i.e. expect to be doing scut work for pittance for a few years. i'll not be deterred though.Henpest - Keep your eye on IFTN.ie/jobs. theres not much on there at the mo but all of the independent production companies post ads there from Hummingbird to Setanta and often for casual part timers in college which is a great foot in the door way of doing things
actually had an interview with these guys. they told me to come back in a year or two when i had more experience.*edit - and these guys too

I started out as a runner for them during college which basically lead to my job in TV so they're worth sending your CV to aswell.
there's a fantastic Rodney Dangerfield documentary all about going back to college as a mature student called "Back to School"
pretty sure they have it in lazer - well worth watching

You should definitely think about the social welfare's bizarre back to education allowance thing.
