About this episode:
Going back to study as a mature age student can be nerve-wracking. You may have walked away from a prosperous career in favour of humble student life. Meanwhile, you are expected to juggle study with financial and family commitments. Despite this, there are many benefits to starting a paramedicine degree once you’ve got some life experience under your belt. The journey to becoming a registered paramedic is not easy, but fortune favours the bold. This month, two mature-age students will have a life-affirming conversation about what taking that leap of faith has meant for them.
