Whenever I find I'm not getting any exposure to help me progress in my career path, find that there's no prospects of achievement and I'm just getting comfortable, I leave. Not sure what you're exact situation is like but if there's nothing more for you to learn / progress into in your current role, you're wasting your own potential and dulling your skills and motivation to climb up.
Good thing is you wanna study, change jobs and learn more at the new job while you're at it
Yup, this is exactly at the point I am now, just so undecided on what the most logical step would be.

Twitch, keeps us posted. Any idea on how much you will start on?.
Interview was today, I feel it went well. Will keep you all updated as to whether I get the position or not. Starting salary would be 58k - 63k, with a total package of around 70k. Not bad really.
Quick update - I got it
start early may! Finally my Fto can get some more loving...
WELL DONE MATE!!!! Hope you enjoy your new role and it lives up to what you want out of a job. sh*t, we spend so much time at work you just gotta enjoy it.

My degree took me exactly 4 years full time, provided I pass all my subjects this year, I'll graduate after I finish this year. Time goes by so quickly after the first year, once you get into the habit of doing assessments, studying for exams, etc each year seems to get easier and you're abilities to research, analyse and write seem to sharpen. After you get into it, exams and assessments seem much more easier to handle on your own, and you rely less on others. There is a lot of group work involved in assessments which makes it easier as you spread the work out and don't have all the risk and responsibility placed on yourself.
One of the best motivational things i've heard.. I think i might do well on my next semester now
