I'm 26 years old. I dropped out of university during my second year when I was about 20 studying mathematics. I think I should have held off on university. I wasn't in the right headspace for it and although I liked A level maths because I was good at it, university level was a whole new thing.
The one thing I really liked was a programming module I did. I've played around with the idea of getting into coding and I like the idea of returning to complete a degree in computer science. No drinking or wasting time, just knuckling down and working my ass off.
The issue is I've used up most of my entitlement to university finance support because of my previous attempt. (not resentful it is how it is) So I can receive finance for the last year. But I would have to pay for the first two years out of pocket. That would be at least £18000 for tuition alone not including living costs.
I've been in Australia for the past year trying to save the money to sort of hit restart on my life. (the money is alot better out there for doing pretty much the same sort of hospitality/low level work)
I got frustrated and flew home for Christmas. After a chill out I'll be going back out there. I have about £8000 saved. Do you lot think it's worth it to save up all that money and then put it into education, or perhaps invest into a coding boot camp which is a lot cheaper but less substantial.
Sorry for rambling I'm just feeling aimless and I'm not sure if this direction I'm taking males financial sense.
Any replies appreciated.
