Rambling of a Coder

That time again

So, a brand new year is just around the corner. And with that comes my son's 5th year which as anyone from the UK will know is the year you "typically" start Primary School at. For me personally this is a big thing as it gives me a larger part of the day of doing nothing because he wont be with me. So i was thinking, around 5 years ago at about this time i decided to drop out of education myself because the boy was on the way. Now that he's going back maybe its time for me to return and finish my own education?

My own Education history has been a rocky one, going from Electronics to Mechatronic to Software Design and even into the territory of Neuroinformatics, Not sure where I'd like to return to at this point as i enjoyed all those fields and still do. But being a bit older now and my own interests having diverged a bit from these fields to include construction projects, Rocketry, im really really not sure, I think I'd be great to go back and do some real Joinery etc too. But i cant remain in education permanently if i do decide to return to it in some form. So i need to pick a goal and head directly towards it

While i always have and found robotics and interesting field i don't really see a practical use for it in the real world. Especially not the side that actually interests me and that's the R&D side though not really something like this as it doesn't really seem that useful.

Software design would be a great field but i know myself i couldnt continue todo the work i currently do and education in the same field. But i'd have to be something i could bring this side of my life into. in some shape or form.
Needs a good long hard thing and a bit more research i think before i make any decisions.. and i do have a good few months to go before i need to actually decide.
