Lately, I’ve found out that most of my friends just graduated from their study in Degree, Master Degree and PHD courses… At around my age, some of them are still studying… Besides, my colleague is going to leave us at the end of May 08. His reason to leave us is go back to study to improve and strengthen his knowledge.
I myself also have the “go” back to study thinking… Currently I’m working as an engineer and everyone thought that whoever work as an engineer, their background is full of engineering knowledge. They are wrong at this stage, as I’m not the actual engineering student from my previous college. I’m the IT student who work as an mechanical engineer, totally different field of knowledge apply to the working environment.
The first issue is, if I want go to study, which course do I really want to choose? Master Degree on IT or Diploma of Engineering course or is there a possibility for me to directly take Degree of Engineering course. Those have to go and check it.
The second issue is, is the time allowing me to go back study? Currently my office hour is from 8:30am until 5:30pm. I work as usual from 8:00am but over 5:30pm, which means I always go back home late. The earliest time is 6:30pm; the most late time is the next day afternoon as my record. Another is I’m always traveling around in Penang, Melaka and Japan.
The third issue is studying fees, as I’m working now and also have some savings. For the said courses above, it might easily cost me more than $30,000 and above. About study fees, can think about loan as well, there is a student loan consolidation cash back from student loan dir. As I’m unable to cash out $30,000 easily from our bank or pocket, and there are not much in saving as well. The best way to choose is still get a loan for study.
The decision making is still under my consideration. What do you think about this?
