So lately I've been thinking about doing an home study I.T. course so I can get a decent job and get out of the cycle of drifting from dead end job to dead end job, the 'Master CIW Designer' course has caught my eye as I'm a pretty creative person and I think something like this would suit me, basically I wanted to be a designer when I left school but I stupidly dropped out of college after about a year and got a crappy factory job because I just wanted some money so I could do all the stuff my mates were doing like going out drinking, taking driving lessons....etc, anyway that was 10 years ago now and the thought of just another year of being on/off the dole and in/out of dead end jobs doesnt exactly appeal to me so I really need to do something now so this course is what I've been looking at but would it be worth doing? I mean how easy is it to find work as a web designer? Is it easy to pick up? Or do you think I'm just wasting my time here?

Thanks
