My cousin is looking to do another degree full time and will get the funding, but, the repayments will be crippling. If he does the degree part-time and pays for himself, it would take him 7 years to graduate and he's not guaranteed a job at the end...

I hear ya. Tough tough decisions folks need to make these days.
