Literally depends on finances. As an investment? I would say no.
Is an employer paying for it? 100% worth it. Do you have your finances covered such that retirement’s not going to be an issue in your older age? Absofucking really. Do it.
Higher education is expensive. It also depends on what you want to study. Is it something you can feasibly study yourself for a cheaper cost, do projects and prove yourself to employers?
Like if your neck is above water and you’re thinking about studying computer science right now… I recommend like a thousand good YouTube videos instead. Genuine passion, a build-it attitude, that will save you some money and probably go further in the long run…
The higher education will never hurt. It will only hurt you financially. It won’t guarantee a return.

I can do one class per semester and pay less than 100€ of tuition. I have a paid house and a source of income besides my salary.

Sounds affordable. Im not a financial advisor but it sounds like a sound investment. I say do it.
