1) Get a job (a better paying one than your present one, preferably) and survive for the next three years. You could do evening or part time courses as access if that's the kind of thing you want to do. 2) Talk to your parents. It may be that they're willing to stump up the fairly hefty sums of cash, if you were sure it was what you wanted to do.
And, to be frank, that's the kicker.
You need to figure out what it is you want to do. And you need to be sure about it, and not rush in to something.
And when you get there, you need to accept that it isn't going to be the perfect thing you might dream it as being. If you're lucky, and you've picked well, it'll be pretty darn good.
Whatever you decide to do, I'll support you in any way I can. But nobody, not me, not your parents, can support you in anything, until you know what it is you want to do.
So...
You have to (almost literally) buy yourself enough time to do that.
You aren't going back to university this september. I really suggest that you wash that. That's got you approximately 9 months of breathing space. Ideally, you want to be paying your own way during that time. It'll take pressure of you, and pressure of your parents.
I'd suggest making that your first goal. There may be some things you have to sacrifice to acheive that. One of those things is that you will almost certainly have to work full time or as near as damnit. For example, the thing you do on Thursdays is, at the moment, costing you UKP60.75 a week, excluding the actual cost of doing it. That's 240 pounds a month. (minus tax and NI, so actually probably closer to 180).
As I said, though, whatever you want to do, I'll support and help you in any way I can.
