It's worth looking through the qualification planner (is that what they call it?)

I had to change paths a couple of times, and if I'd have thought harder in the beginning, I could have made it easier for myself by doing courses in a different order.

A good piece of advice is to aim at your first courses adding upto a diploma or certificate... you can count some courses against two qualifications - so you could get a diploma in ABC and add to it afterwards and get a degree in XYZ - all for the same amount of work.
