Anyone retire and go back to college (overseas)?
I'm considering retiring in a few years at 60 and pursuing a masters at a public university in Italy or France. Possibly a degree in international development, environmental risk assessment, etc. that would help facilitate either a volunteer or paid position with an NGO, etc. I've been a Professional Engineer in US my entire career, and am burned out working for commercial land developers. Thinking it might be nice to make a meaningful difference before I'm too old to do so.
I'd love to hear from someone that has done something similar - whether it be to pursue a degree and then work/volunteer or some other motivation. Living abroad on a student visa for a couple of years while pursuing a degree seems almost too good to be true. Interested mainly in overseas experiences.
