'Keep on learning' is good advice - many people choose to take a full time course, but that's not the only way to learn. There are three main ways of learning part time 'at a distance':

• learn online - there are hundreds of courses you can study via the internet - many relate to IT but there are plenty of others as well; check out learndirect for a start
• register with a local college or learning centre for a course where you can study at home, using paper materials, and take or send your work in to your college for it to be marked - you may also meet a tutor from the college occasionally so you can talk about how you are getting on
• sign up for a 'traditional' correspondence course, where everything is done on paper via the post.

Which of these is right for you can depend on how you learn, how much you need support, and what subject you want to study.

Whatever you choose to do, you can learn when it is convenient for you, as long as you have the will power to do the work at home without a teacher making sure you get it done. Of course, you pay for most distance learning courses, so you waste your money if you don't get something out of it!
