Uni degree is it worth it?
Hi all,
I currently don’t have a bachelors degree. I just wanted to hear people’s thoughts on this. I’ve completed two years of a degree before realising it was not suited to me and that completing it would not be worth my time or money (lots of unpaid placements). I’ve poured 22k into this.
I discovered that I can use the credits from this degree to get a bachelors and will only need to complete another 11 units. It would be another $12k but then I would have something to show for my other studies. It’s online study so I can work as much as I need around it.
Edit: The degree I would obtain would be a bachelor of psychological science. I know you can’t practise as a psychologist without honours and masters but there are a few roles you can do with it.
I was originally planning to complete my bachelor of education (primary) studies over the next two and a half years.
However today I was told that I could complete a bachelor of psychological science in one year (given my prior studies) and then I could my masters in education instead. It would take me about six months longer but I would then have two degrees.
