Taking uni courses while being a growed up

[anksta]

As some of you know I'm trying to become a screenwriter, I've had some progress but without an agent and the contacts that come along with having done a filmschool degree, I'm quickly approaching a point where I'm out of ideas.

I'm still writing, still submitting and getting good feedback but getting the whole 'foot in the door' thing is still proving somewhat of a challenge so my next idea is a screenwriting MA.

I've had a look at a few going on in London, general idea is part time, 2 years and they cost around 3 grand.

Has anyone done anything like this before? Not necessarily screenwriting just a degree while they're working full time?

I'm not a particular fan right now of my current job but if I was to start something like I would probably need to keep it but there isn't much info on day to day life on these courses in terms of hours involved etc. can you do these things while holding down full time jobs or is a part time course equivalent to a part time job?

Any input would be appreciated.

If you want to do it that much then go for it. Life is all about taking risks.

Btw check the thread title

Yeah I did that on purpose mate, I am a writer.

Anyway, thanks for the support. I've just sent off a load of other writing but I'm quickly approaching the end of my tether, amount of BS in the rest of my life and writing is a lifeline to me but if I can't break in on my own then I'd gladly spend the next 2 years doing a screenwriting MA.

Only 2 problems are I want to stay in London to do it and I might as well keep my job to do it.
