35岁了应该继续工作还是出国读书

Question

35岁的我离职了…其实在这家公司上班了5年，我想是时候离开了。因为这不是我的理想工作，所以我离职是想转行的…想着要去澳洲或者新加坡读书。然后我就去申请学校，结果不管是澳洲或新加坡的我都拿到offer了。最近朋友又介绍我，找到了一家公司，新公司的offer和这里差不多，薪资有涨了一点。
现在问题来了：
去新公司上班，可以存到钱，不用每个月为钱烦恼；
去读书，要把这些年的积蓄拿出来花，可能将来还要每天/每个月要担心资金问题。但，去上班又是做回我不喜欢的同行，离我的梦想更遥远了；去读书我又担心自己离开学习时期太久了会跟不上脚步…我应该怎么选择呢？

以35岁为前提， 如果你科系是研究型，那一般是一起+顺便当个研究生，所以还是有收入的。同时也不用太太太担心自己脱离学生籍太久的问题，因为差不多类似你在mnc 工作那样，paper work（求证那些）+presentation 比较多。但是如果是 读书考试类型的科系，那才可能需要顾虑 脱离学生籍太久。

至于升学和工作之间做选择，你应该先表明自己的立场，或者表明你自己比较看重或在乎什么东西。因为升学和工作之间， 就很像晚餐要吃面还是吃饭那样，如果没有特定的要求话，两者都是同等无差别的选择，同样是填饱肚子的过程罢了。
1）如果你是属于看重薪水，那升学就可能不大适合。毕竟毕业后的薪水并不能保证会翻倍，甚至也不能保证拿到你想要德工。所以就显得跳槽再跳槽更实际了。
2）如果你是属于享受生活，并且也喜欢校园生活，那你才考虑出国留学。但如果你是抱着毕业能加薪的心态留学，那过程你会觉得很痛苦了。
3）如果你是想追梦（喜欢的工），而留学是必须的话，那你就不用顾虑太多，毕竟万事开头难，以及方法总比困难多。比如说你想在毕业后从修车师傅变成正式医生。

出國然後半工讀，就解決金錢問題了。

如果是你有興趣的科目，你覺得未來你要往這方面發展，那不要怕遲，人生就是不斷完成夢想才有意義。

As an HR expert, I understand that this is a difficult decision for you. It's important to consider both short-term financial stability and long-term career fulfillment. Going to the new company would provide you with a steady income and the opportunity to save money without worrying about financial issues every month. However, it seems like this job is not aligned with your passion and it might distance you further from your dreams. On the other hand, pursuing further education in Australia or Singapore would require you to spend your savings and potentially face financial concerns in the future. Additionally, you might be worried about not keeping up with the pace of learning after being out of school for a while.

To make the decision, I suggest considering your long-term goals and personal fulfillment. Evaluate how important it is for you to pursue your dream career and whether going back to the same field would hinder or delay your progress. Assess the potential growth opportunities and job prospects after completing further education. Consider the financial implications and explore options for scholarships, part-time work, or financial aid to mitigate the financial burden.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your individual circumstances, aspirations, and risk tolerance. It may be helpful to discuss this decision with mentors, career counselors, or trusted friends and family members who can provide guidance based on your specific situation. Remember to weigh the potential rewards and challenges associated with each choice and trust your intuition in making the best decision for your future.
