I can honestly say that going back to college and finishing my degree was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. Granted, I’m in STEM, and in a field that has way more positions available than people to fill them, so my experience may not apply to everyone, but my life is definitely in a much better place than I was ~10 years ago.
That’s not to say things are perfect. There are obviously still struggles and hardships and challenges, and I definitely still feel like I’m stuck in the rat race sometimes; but I’m actually running the race instead of getting trampled, and I get cheese instead of starving.
Well, fuck me then because all I have studied has been software related and I was planning getting to uni to see if getting a higher title helped find a job… if I wanted to change career it would take me at least another two years living with my progenitors and I can’t fucking take that anymore.

Can you share what field?
Specialized ME, but from what I’ve seen, pretty much any non-software engineering degree is having no problem finding jobs right now.

Yeah, I’m an industrial engineer and it’s not easy finding work as manufacturing ain’t doing great, but it’s not terrible
