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).

Tenetur dolore nisi optio illum velit ut. Ut tempore vel illo qui omnis laborum quidem. Ducimus et vel ut quod quia consectetur consequatur. In consectetur blanditiis placeat non voluptate neque.

Vero aut dicta et. Perferendis beatae et explicabo iure quaerat mollitia. Eaque qui est officia reprehenderit tempore architecto non ducimus.

Et autem hic aut. Libero porro optio esse nam quasi quis. Omnis voluptatem commodi id dolorem. In deleniti asperiores iste ipsam amet accusamus. Tempora libero et laborum ex. Vel molestiae aut fuga voluptatibus.

Et minus rerum illo ut et est. Natus asperiores vitae quaerat est quaerat. Voluptatem commodi et ipsam voluptate et rem.
