A FULL-PAGE advert in The Northern Echo (Jan 12) from one of our local universities offers a diverse range of subjects to study for foundation degrees.

I’m thinking of applying to take a joint modular course and qualifying for a combined degree in dancing and counselling.

Just think, tea dances with the opportunity to offer counselling.

Exercise and company for me, and solace for my partner.

I’m hoping to attract some sponsorship.
