I just finished my degree last year at 40 plus, I wanted to beat my daughters to graduate so that they knew education was important to me. I really didn't want them to work as hard as I have. I did barely, one graduated in May of this year and the other is in her second year of college.
I had worked on it off and on for 20 years starting after my first baby was born and taking a few course as a time.. I have a good job but wanted it in case something happened and I needed to be mobile. I don't think I have the energy to crawl up the ladder again (I started at the company as an operator), and the "piece of paper" will open doors that would not open without it. No one is too old, good luck and go for it.
