1. how did you all come to a decision to do that especially
those who took full time. Cos it can be a risk to quit the job and
go back to studying full time. I do not intend to do it part time
cos I never believe I would be able to cope with this job and
studies. I do not mind working part time.
Yes, I did full-time study but it was a scholarship and my job
was waiting for me...still a little difficult cos' I lost seniority
by going away for 3-4 years. Only did it because it was a
prestigious university and the degree is relevant to my career.
2. When do you think we should consider post-graduate
studies?
When you are very clear about your life career. It may take up
to 10 years to discover what sort of career you want. Don't waste
your time and money doing something that you hate doing for the
rest of your life.
3. What can we expect from post-graduate studies.
With some subjects, it's harder with age. You must be very
motivated as alot of the study is down to yourself. The powers of
retention and reasoning drop after your 30s. On the other hand,
experience come in very handy for some subjects.
Something for you to think about: are you contemplating overseas
studies primarily for the experience of a foreign student or are
you doing it to further your career? If it is the latter (as with
me), I spent most of my time working and did not have much of a
social life. If it is the former, then it does not really matter
what you study.
