Well what field is that? It might depend on this.

IT, software and DB development, the usual...

I take it you said the courses were related to taxonomy?
This is not the age of reason, this is the age of flummery, and the day of the devious approach. Reason’s gone into the backrooms where it works to devise means by which people can be induced to emote in the desired direction.

Current situation: -age: 31. -education: some certificates, degree in electrical engineering (automation). -experience: 5+ in software and DB development. I feel stuck (career wise) for many reasons and I am thinking to continue my education in field closer related to my current work. Why I have second thoughts? Money, schools and courses available in my geographic area are sort of limited, family... Can anyone share their experience or thoughts if they were in similar situation?
I did a postgrad diploma with the Open University in the UK a few years back. I've been thinking myself that I'd like to know more about/get into finance/accountancy and that I might try to do a degree when life quietens (if that's even a word) down a bit. I know what it's like spending the time sutdying after work, but I've also acquired a GF/Fiancee since i did that post-grad. OT: one of the guys in work pointed out to me this week that Fiancee is missing a letter: Financee

OU seems nice, I've even found degree which fits nicely within my interests, but I cannot afford it. :(( Almost 14k £, I earn less than 1k a month and have a mortgage to pay and eat.
