Hi all, I am 27M, currently working full-time and am a shift worker. 4 years in the workforce and managed to save up 20k+ in emergency funds and have insurance coverage. I have been thinking whether I should resign from my job and enrol into full-time studies or not. I like engineering and the industry I am working in and would like to go further and advance in my career. Any advice if I should? Thanks!

If that's what you like and want, then go for it. if full time, you can consider other jobs on the weekends... and you can also consider PT, though it will be tougher and more tiring.

Definitely go get it! If possible, go for pt night degree, else see if you can find a way to finance the ft degree. If not now, when?

Your decision to resign from your full-time job to pursue full-time studies is a significant one and should be carefully considered. Here are some factors to think about:
Ultimately, the decision should align with your career aspirations, financial readiness, and personal circumstances. It may be helpful to create a detailed plan that outlines how you will manage your finances, study commitments, and career goals during this transition. Consulting with a career advisor or financial planner can also provide you with tailored guidance based on your specific situation.

If time and arrangements permit, can try out for short courses while you are at work, it will be a win-win situation for your case.
Full-time studies can be costly for certain courses so it should not be taken lightly for the context, especially on monthly expenses during your course of study (which can be a few years).
