What are your skills? Can you show your ability to solve problems? Work to deadlines? Can you demonstrate how you work well within a team? Have your jobs increased your computer literacy? Are you now able to work independently using your own initiative? Being self-motivated is really valuable - don't dismiss it! Perhaps having worked for a while has highlighted the fact that you wanted to continue with your education and that you can see the opportunities that further study may open up in your career. Can you show that you will be able to adapt to studying again?
