And then you have somebody maybe coming out with a PhD and PhDs are amazing, right?

But they're 10 years behind and they might command a higher salary, but would they command a decade's worth of a higher salary?

And if you had somebody sitting in front of you looking to hire them, would you hire the person with the bones of a decade experience or the bones of 10 years education?

Different jobs will look for different things.

But sometimes it is worth sitting down and going, well, what do I want to do with my life?

Do I need to get an extra four or six years of education?

Or can I learn this on my feet?

And a beautiful thing as well we need to think about is,

We can always learn.

The amount of courses now that you can learn as you need.

So, for example, I only got my master's, it was eight years ago, master's in science.

And I had my QFA qualification was about, oh goodness, six years ago.

And that was well into my late 30s and 40s.

And the amount of people that I know that maybe worked in IT for years and then they're getting law degrees and moving into that area, like the specialist experience you can build up with that.

And if you have something, a few years of experience, and then you get a slightly adjunct education to it, so like IT with law,

Wow.

How employable are you then when you do it that way?

So there's loads of different ways to cut education.

So it doesn't have to be straight through and then get your work experience.

You can slice and dice it any way you want.
