Had the opportunity a few years ago to train as a speech therapist but husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on the day I was to enrol. Nursed him till he died in the new year. Have now got the chance to study a masters in language but not sure what to do. My children are very keen for me to do it. They think it’s my time etc. However. most of my friends think it’s a waste of time and I should forget it at my age(54). I am ok financially but I will not have a big pension. I have the option to do it part time so I could probably work part time as well. I just don’t know what to do. Am I mad and am I wasting my time?
