Para mi este es el punto principal, que pretendes conseguir con esta inversión de tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero. Volver a estudiar mientras estás en tu camino profesional tiene muchas virtudes, como que puedes aplicar los aprendizajes según los estudias y que te permite abrirte la mente a casos en los que podrías no haber trabajado. En ocasiones también es necesario continuar con tus estudios si te has dado cuenta de que el puesto al que aspiras suele tener como requisito unos estudios superiores o complementarios a los tuyos. En ese caso tienes como objetivo alcanzar ese puesto, por lo que no te olvides de el mismo mientras tratas de conseguirlo. Esfuérzate al máximo, el curso no te lo van a regalar, por lo que deberás sacar tiempo para el.

The most important things to consider are your aspirations and the tenacity to fulfill the obligation to yourself. Due to life circumstances, my educational career was put on hold for 18 years. I went back to get an MBA, then continued on to receive an Ed.D. It took a long time; however, persistence and the desire to reach my personal goal was the focus. These degrees have benefitted me as I have the capacity to still work in education, while shifting from one area of special education to another. The doctoral credential will serve me well as I continue to be a part of the educational arena.

2 Your finances and time

Going back to school can be expensive and time-consuming. You need to consider how you will pay for your tuition, fees, books, and other expenses, as well as how you will balance your studies with your work and personal obligations. You may need to apply for scholarships, grants, loans, or employer assistance, or look for flexible or online programs that fit your schedule and budget. You also need to plan ahead for any potential changes in your income, expenses, or lifestyle that may result from going back to school.

El mayor problema de continuar con tus estudios en mitad de tu vida laboral es el tiempo y dinero, y es donde deberás invertir el mayor esfuerzo. Sacarte unos estudios conlleva una serie de tiempo, el cual te obligará a reducir el tiempo de otras actividades, por lo que debes valorar si los resultados de obtener estos conocimientos están justificados con el tiempo que vas a invertir. Por otra parte si bien es cierto que en Espa?a los estudios en centros públicos no son muy caros, siguen suponiendo un esfuerzo monetario que también deberás planificar. Mi recomendación es que si puedes cumplir con estos requisitos y estás considerándolo hagas como yo y vuelve a estudiar.

3 Your skills and readiness

Going back to school in mid-career may require you to refresh or update some of your skills, especially if you have been out of the academic environment for a long time or if you are entering a new field. You may need to brush up on your writing, math, research, or technology skills, or take some prerequisite courses to prepare for your program. You may also need to assess your learning style, study habits, and self-discipline, and seek out any support or resources that can help you succeed in your studies.

Este es el mayor temor de los que retomamos los estudios, pero nada más lejos de la realidad, si bien es cierto que tendrás que repasar algunas cosas por lo general te acordarás de más de lo que piensas. Por ello ten en cuenta que habrá cosas que tendrás que recordar y por ende dedicarle más tiempo, pero quizá habrá otras que tengas más reciente o estes más avanzado que la mayoría de compa?eros por lo que puedas demostrar tus conocimientos en ese area.
