I feel your pain! I did 15,000 words on how to practically implement the legislation contained within EU Commision Regulation 2042/2003
I'm considering doing a masters, its not the dissertation thats putting me off though, its the £14k Cranfield Uni want to do it part time
Half considering doing a fulltime one at the local uni (£3k!) as I do shiftwork and could probably blag it enough attendance wise!
