Money coach Melanie Buffel, who
returned to complete her MBA
as a single mom more than 20 years after finishing her last degree, says adults must plan carefully before
returning to school
as a
mature student.
From those who left school at 16 and feel they haven't yet realised their true potential to those with extensive career experience looking to further develop their skill set or take a new direction —
as well
as graduates hoping to
return to higher education to study for a Masters or PhD — the
mature student population is a richly diverse and integral part of the
student community.
