In the UK we have The Open University (which is open for international study too).

You can get a real degree in your spare time without a massive spend, working or not.

I'm doing a mathematics degree at the moment, whilst employed. No holiday/vacation required!

In the UK, if you work for a company with 250 or more employees, you are also entitled to request time off work to train (including degree study): http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Timeoffandh...

Good to know, I'm starting a math degree with them too. Would you mind getting in touch?
