All Finished!

Degree
I know I stated that I wasn’t going to post anymore over the next month, but I just received a letter from YMCA George Williams College that I have gained a 1st Class Honours Degree in Informal & Community Education.

I’ve been studying for the degree part-time since 2004 via distance learning and have really enjoyed the experience. I thought this was news worth sharing, but will now go back to blog silence for a few weeks!

About Jon: I am a qualified youth worker, writer and consultant based in Littlehampton, UK. I've worked in the voluntary youth sector for over 12 years, am married to Kirsty and we have two daughters named Hope and Eloise. Check out 'Journeying Together: Growing Youth Work and Youth Workers in Local Communities' and read my opening chapter.

    Well done Jon, that's excellent!
    Nice of them to finish it off with a demand for library books!

      Ha! Thanks Amy, I thought the same thing!

      “You’ve done really well but if you don’t bring the books back we’ll cancel the degree!”

    Top job, well done
    (I was amused that the degree is effectively ransom until you return your library books)
