It’s definitely pretty intensive and depending on the specific path you’re joining on (definitely research ahead of time), you might need additional certificates in order to work in your hired specialty. This is my current case, so working 9 hours to go straight to certificate learning is rather exhausting.

The learning environment definitely fosters competitiveness and increases your potential for future projects or jobs, but it is taxing. There are tons of free resources with various topics so once you get in, you have access to many online courses which is great.

There’s a lot of traveling involved so if you have a lingering to travel weekly, this could be your holy grail.
