Back to School after IB?

Hello all,

Is anyone contemplating going back to school after a couple of years in IB?

Personally I've always been attracted to politics and have been contemplating taking a Masters in Politics / International Relations / Public Policy.

Also, has anyone tried to take a degree of sorts on a part-time basis? How difficult was it balancing work/life/studies? I think this may be 'easier' this year because of COVID (degrees have become somewhat less demanding from what I've heard).
