Then keep that goal in mind, and start taking baby steps towards it. It may take 6 years, it may take more, but chip away at that goal if you really want it.
I was talking to my MIL about you, and she said you've got an incredible advantage already with your dad being a psych. A ready-made mentor. So now it's all about thinking how to make it happen, and not of the obstacles. She did 6 years full time, and graduated with her Masters when my DH was in year 12, but I know I couldn't do it myelf, so I'm doing it slowly until I get some confidence (or I win lotto) to take on more units.
Remember too you don't start paying HECs back until you earn more than $34k I think. I earn $45k partime and they're withholding about $40 a week, so it's bearable. But I too wish we didn't have to pay for our bloody educations!
ETA If I cross the line between being encouraging and being a pushy cow, feel free to start ignoring me BTW! Lol!
