Having spoken to a student adviser at the university I was told:

"If you are not happy here then shop around. You (read: your money) is in high demand these days."

So shopping around I am doing, but one alternative to formal study I keep coming back to is simply self-directed learning.

I'm be really interested to hear from anyone with thoughts on this or experience with self-directed learning.
- Have you successfully switched careers with a new degree?
- How did you go about building relationships with practitioners in your new field?
