I started my academic journey when I was already working and during that journey, that lasted over a decade, I was ex-matriculated more than several times. I kept going back and I finally graduated. I think that an academic education is important, but you should make clear for you what you are after - you should look at your program and make up your mind about what you want to get from university. More importantly, you should make sure that you actually are willing to put all your energy at given moment into your education. From my experience, it will not get any easier over time.
