start a new post asking for careers advice as the people in the know will probably not be looking in a ucas thread.

Theres a lot of duff courses out their IT related, I know this as I have just finished one.
a lot of the time its better to get a job and build a portfolio for multimedia/design kind of stuff, or get straight into the juicy stuff with networks and hardware.
