I've worked out a potential study plan that would have me finish uni by the end of 2026. It would require doing 22 units over 6 teaching periods.

It would completely cook my brain (if I even passed) but gosh it's tempting. I just wanna get out of here and change careers. But the current plan is to finish end of 2027. Which really isn't so bad.

I wouldnt rob myself of time with family, friends, gaming or whatever just to get to the goalposts quicker. edit: thats just my 2 cents having pursued uni part time whilst working full time myself.

Lucky for me most of those don't apply, lol. But I do understand your point. I doubt I'll do it, it's nice to dream though.

I say this from a place of kindness not judgement: it sounds like you've got some bigger things to focus on.

Compromise and finish in the middle of 2027?

[โ€“] danwritesbooks 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm looking at that option now. It's a matter of what units are available and when, which is annoying.
