back to school

Go back now while you are still young. I started college right after high school and quit after a semester.....life happens, marriage, children, bills....next thing I knew I was turning 40 and in a job that although it paid well, it was not something that I truly loved. Long story, soon after my 40th birthday, I went back to community college and am almost done with my associates, once I am done with that, I will transfer to a 4 year college and get my bachelors and masters at the same time. Should take me about another 4 years, but those 4 years are going to go by no matter what and at least now, I am doing something that I love (getting my history/education degree).

It is never too late to go back, but I will say that it is harder the older you get. There are more demands on your time and some things just dont seem to come as easy as they did when I was in my 20's.

Take classes at night and online when you can. I have found some of my on-line classes to be more challenging than the traditional classes.

Good Luck!!!!!

Its not so much you have to enjoy the classes as just get through them. I recently went back to college too, I am actually doing better now then I was before and taking more classes then before. Ill be honest its hard at first to get you mind back in learning mode.

 

i work weekends and nights with mmy jobs ... i work only 2 days during the week but i work 6 nights a week so its tough to find a time slot...but ill figure sumthing out... online classes would be tough for me i learn by hearing it, although im starting to change and learn by reading ... mostly bc of forums and this online...

 

My best advice is to get it over with. I fully agree that the longer you wait, the less likely you will complete anything. One of my best friends started college, then transferred several times, went part time, stopped for went back and forth etc. Well, it's been 6 years and he still doesn't have a degree while I just went and got it over with and now am almost finished law school. it will be tough, but keep with it, especially if your working towards something you really want to do.
