Oh and Scoot to answer your general question, I've done education, freelance, part time, full time, writing, consultancy and started my own company.. not very helpful answer I guess - but given that I'm 27 and I left Uni at 22, it goes to show that leaving university after a BA can make life really interesting - there's been some, good, some bad, some amazing, but I've learnt SO much more the hard way than I could ever have learnt by staying in education.
