I started a unidegree and was doing well, but had to stop for unforseen events. I loved it. I was working in a factory for years and was content. I had to break up work for unforeseen events as well, that was 2012. Should i work back in the factory parttime 10 hours a week or study parttime. My studies would finish when i am 60 years old. Or do both, first paid job for a couple of years and add the studies than or vice versa. Any ideas ?

Paid job. I’ve been to university. I can always study whatever interests me myself in my spare time.

A job would probably be better. Not sure university would be worth it.

If you’re not living hand to mouth, do whatever you enjoy. Otherwise, find a tradeoff between money and fun.

University! I don’t know what I would do with all the money from a job? Sure, traveling would be fun but eventually I would get tired of it.
Knowledge is what appeals me.

A lot of things I do not ask. These 2 are 1 of them. Where do I get my bread? And where do I rest my feet? But for now, we’re far from that. Lessons learned at hand. I’ll take a skill I do not know. And I’ll be happy to understand. Thank you for your time.

Study would be a good place to start. It would get you used to doing more before you find something like a job

Thank you for the ideas, I will study. The goal would be a bachelor’s in food and nutrition. I got an income being on a disability pension and it’s very unlikely to ever come off it. I could study myself self tutoring but having a proper solid education with the credit is challenging but worth it. Working in the factory would pay me a car and the odd vacation. I choose the student life. Public transport and pizzaleftovers

I’d study with the aim of getting a well paid job or if you need the money immediately I’d go for the job.

@Dunno will being a student affect your disability pension? They might view you as no longer disabled and stop payments if you resume your education. I get wanting to finish school though. I loved it too. Sz cancelled my plans.

Well you know a paid job pays you, studying typically doesn’t pay you.

All i wish for is being accepted as a nondisabled. Being on unemployment benefits instead of a disability pension increases my chances to land a job big time.

I think work is harder than school for most folks.
Ideally, I would get my AS-T or BA in math and then work, but that’s just my opinion. For some, college isn’t worth it anymore.

Por que no los dos? Can you do a part time studies and part time work? That’s what I did. It was reaaaally hard to sustain with my mental health problems though so I wouldn’t unless you’re very stable. I would keep that in mind if you consider this option.
If not I say paid job, school will always be there for you to return to.

Paid job for sure. Sadly, a lot of people go to college and don’t even get a job in the field they studied for anyways. Might as well skip the nonsense

I think I once saw a study that said only 46 percent of people who graduate form college actually work in the field they studied for. I personally think it’s worthwhile if you check the field you want isn’t oversaturated.
