I had some idea of what CS was as my dad was a programmer.

I chose Physics though in the end - I think the subject that really gets let down is Engineering, I had no idea what that meant.

The UK (and the rest of the world) really needs much better access to education - there is no reason it should cost 30k when huge parts can be delivered MOOC-style and the remaining exams and labs done in person.

Even the Open University costs a fortune these days! I hope Corbyn's National Education Service idea might fix it - if he gets elected and Brexit doesn't wreck everything...
