How long has this thread gone on without recognizing the OP is from Australia?
Even though Australian tuition seems like they're on par, if not above, the Commonwealth average (thousands of local currency per year), it is possible that going to school is not the best idea. Much comes down to why exactly you're "going to uni again."
Though I think going to university is a good idea, I am weary of a trend where someone chooses a "marketable"/"rigorous" major while doing only "fluffy" extracurriculars on the side. Since changing courses in Commonwealth/public systems is harder than in US private systems, certain posters on Atlas are even more blindsided by the disadvantages. God forbid if the Australian "Tankies" get to OP while he's on campus, too.
It is smarter to choose a major that you are genuinely interested in, even if it's "fluffy," and focus on hard extracurricular activities: learning a programming language, regularly writing or composing, building a professional portfolio, etc.
