What are the benefits of going back to university? 學歷有用嗎?

🍒Summary

The article discusses the advantages and challenges of pursuing further education while working full-time.

Although many students stop studying after earning a Bachelor’s degree, some later return to education to gain new skills, seek promotion opportunities, or change career paths. Part-time study, especially in the evenings, weekends, or online, allows professionals to balance their responsibilities. Benefits include becoming more valuable in the workplace, filling skills gaps, and improving career prospects. Additionally, working adults can share practical experience with classmates and expand their professional networks. Despite challenges such as family and work commitments, flexible courses make it possible for adults to continue learning and open new career opportunities.
