Hello everyone. I just wanted to get some opinions on completely changing my career, which would mean doing another degree.
I did my first degree (Business and IT) after being pushed into it by my dad. It wasn’t what I wanted but he guilt tripped me and refused to pay for the degree I actually wanted to do, forensic psychology. I did well, got a desk job in IT and plodded along until my 30’s, when I had dd. 10 years, and 3 dc later, I’m in a position to go back to work and the thought of going back to my IT job is filling me with dread. I want to go back to uni and do the degree I always wanted, in something that has interested me since I was a child. Am I crazy? Dh and I have discussed it and he supports me 100%. It will be tight, financially, but manageable. It will most probably have to be part time study as I will have to get a part time job and will have to factor in school pick up and drop off. I think 5 years in total.
Has anyone done this and does anyone know if doing a forensic psychology degree and then finding a job in my mid 40s is even possible?
Thanks everyone.
Oh, course will start in Feb ‘21 if I go ahead with it
