It all depends on what I hope to achieve.
If you only have a bachelor's degree, a part-time master's degree at a reputable university or college can easily cost €10,000-20,000 (semester fees, possibly additional fees for certain courses, materials, etc.). But it can be worth it.
For some people, a 100€ Excel course alone is recommended if they already have gaps in the basics.
Costs and benefits must be in a proper relationship.
For me, certain training courses in the banking sector might be an option, precisely because they would be of benefit to me specifically in my industry, whereas for someone else who doesn't want to go in that direction they might not be suitable.
Sometimes it's worth spending a little more on a course if it's from a reputable provider rather than an unknown, run-of-the-mill provider "around the corner." This is especially true if you want to improve your chances at a large company or advance in the hierarchy. If you're happy with your current level and only want to continue your training at that level, and are more interested in the content than the "title," a cheaper option might be sufficient.
After my bachelor's degree, I did a master's degree at a private university (20k) and then a preparatory course for the tax advisor exam (10k).
For me, there's no better investment than your own education, so I see absolutely no limits. Whatever you can afford, you should do.
Basically, yes. Education is worthwhile. I've already invested over €10,000 in further training. The money isn't really a problem, since you'll recoup it in the medium term.
