| Comment | For the case of completely reskilling to a new industry, if you're just talking about money, you need to consider the income you're losing in the process.
i.e. if you spend 5 years getting the appropriate skills to get a £10k payrise (I can't think of any -legal- job where you could be paid that kind of money quicker than that), and lose £50k of income over that period due to having to work part time to fit in the studies, then you're into your 50s before you've broken even.
Far better would be to find something complementary to your existing skills/experience that will be additional, rather than starting from scratch - maybe a management qualification that lets you jump up the ladder, or an MBA-type thing you can do while in-role? |
