Due to some difficult circumstance I find myself without any higher education at the age of 22. I have the opportunity to study part time for an engineering degree but I wont be fully qualified until I am 28. The long run seems like it will be a tedious time and I don't know if the reward will be worth 6 years of part time study because by that time guys much younger than me will be passing and getting jobs so I'm torn between that and just living out my life with no real ties to anything. Its difficult but What do some of you older guys think.
