where abouts/uni? did you need to relocate? did your wife/funding get you enough to cover mortgage?

What did you go back for degree wise?

PhD computer science.

What did you do before? Was it a total career change, or just getting MS/PHD in same field? Also did you name on of your kids null?

How old were you when you did it?

26, so not a lot older in years, but at a very different point in my life - settled with wife, mortgage etc, which makes a big difference I think.
