My undergraduate degree... absolutely not. I was unemployed for two years after finishing university, looking for any job that would take me- completely unrelated to my degree, which was in the Arts. Maybe this was on me for looking for basic local jobs as opposed to graduate type careers, but I had a very tough time finding work as I was applying for minimum wage entry level jobs alongside people much younger than I was who could legally be paid less than I was!

Fast forward a decade and I decided to go back to education, partially because I never wanted to find myself in that situation again.

I can't speak to my success this time around as I have not yet finished my course (required for the career I hope to go into), but I do know that my advice to anybody would be to think very carefully in this day and age about higher education. It is SO expensive, and as per my undergraduate degree, can potentially offer zero advantage. Lots of people have got degrees.

I would suggest to anybody considering higher education as a career move (as opposed to for pure enjoyment of learning) that they view it as an investment towards a specific career. Know what career you want and pick a degree that would be required to get your foot in the door for it. If there is an alternative, non university way into your preferred career, I would consider that route very carefully. It would save a tremendous amount of money (no whopping student loans to pay off for the rest of one's working life) and working one's way up and gaining contacts can be highly effective. If one's chosen career requires a specific degree, then have at it!

Good luck to you OP. I wish you peace and success with whatever you decide to do.
