your 18-months hiatus at school will cost a bomb right? do you think it's worth the forgone opportunity cost? i've sliced and diced this issue of education advancement many times, perhaps you can share your opinion at how you view this matter.

i'm not getting any younger, and i have doubt that the industry will be willing to pay more for the paper qualifications than the experience gathered over time. i'm mindful of the cost of acquiring the education.

This is a very important point to consider. I remember reading an article years ago about the viability of doing an MBA. Even for people in the USA, the breakeven point (i.e. when your MBA course fees are matched by extra income) is several years - can't remember how many exactly, but slightly less than a decade.

Here in Malaysia, the value of post-grad qualifications is not well recognised by employers so the opportunity cost is very high indeed.
