Did that a number of years back. Was worth it.

Worth it in the personal sense, or career-wise? I'd love to do a maths degree, but being mid-40s with family, mortgage, career etc makes it hard to see myself doing it for real.
I finished it when I was 47 and have a full time job, 3 kids and a care responsibility for a sick parent. Planning is the word :)
Paying that money was worth it? Why not just self-study then?

The fact that you did the whole journey with that amount of responsibilities is impressive!
