I am in the same situation, but i don't have a family to feed. My parents are working to keep active and occupied. House fully paid (thankfully) and only need focus on daily necessities. Currently in a course and not employed so I have to minimize my spending. Good thing is i have enough savings to not be a burden to my parents. After ending my course, I probably will go back to working, although may be tough, but i probably not going for my degree related jobs as i had a taste of it for few months and hated it lol. Gonna go for other kind of jobs that keeps me moving instead of desk bound.

Of coz going for pt degree is a way to go but I'm looking for other alternatives. I've considered taking up professional course like CAPM. So will like to have some inputs or direction that I can look up. Thanks!

Also, I have considered doing a mid career switch to doing data analyst related field. Which I chanced upon a gov website. They have a program called TIPP, which got me interested. Anyone have such experience on this? Will like to hear from you as well.
imo, if u want a career switch, go for something that doesnt really need a bachelor degree to entry and it wont be a differentiating factor. Cos in the field of data analytics, the hot thing right now, is quite hard to compete with a fresh grad from local uni who is smart and can work much longer time without any family obligations. At least what i saw, one position of data anlyctis on mycareersfuture has about 50-100 applicants

And do note that data analytics is not sth that can be easily taken up. dont go in and quit your current job unless u are very sure that u can do well in this. U got a family to feed. I hate to be the one that pour cold water on ppl, but i hope u can do better in life yet make safe decisions.

What you need is to work smart.
If you don't work smart, you will find yourself stuck in the same problem even after switching industry.

Sorry ah. Ur post got me curious coz u said u want to do a mid career switch from material science in semi-con to...investment or data analytics.

I had done CFA level I before as I had contemplated starting my career in the investment field in my 20s but didn't pursue it further as I realised I wasn't primarily driven by money. Are u driven by money?

As for data analytics, I took 3 courses in NUS on marketing analytics and I came to the conclusion that if u really want to go deep into data analytics, u will need a base statistics or data analytics degree coz data analytics is really about statistics, despite its sexy "analytics" name. Do u love numbers, charts, tables and rows and rows of data?

Did you change company and try different roles? How many times did you do that in the last 7 years?
