Good luck! I went back to get my masters at 48, after being out of college for 27 years. It was a whole different world with modern technology. I was forced to get savvy with my computer and all it can do. Glad I did it. Remember to enjoy the journey.

I have learned so much from you all and as much as I know that school will take a lot of my time in addition to working full time, I will always make time for my online family. You are a great group. I admire each and everyone of you for your talent. Thanks for sharing.

Good luck! I bet you'll be surprised how easy your classes will be. 10-1 you know way more about the subject than the younger students.. Assuming you are going back TO the school building, too, not just on line.

Good luck. Your education is very important. Stop in once in a while to let us know how you are doing.

I went back after 'only' 15 years out. Amazed myself by making much better grades than the first go round. Did have to drop my 8 o'clock class though as getting hubby to work, 3 boys to the elementary school, the other 2 to the base preschool and then drive all the way across town and try to find a last minute parking place just didn't work very well! The last 9 hours I only took one class per session as by then I also had my baby DD and a job plus DH was overseas.
You can do it and do it well!

Kudos to you for taking on such an important step in your life. When you are looking at the next 2 years it seems like a long time, but when you look back you see how fast it went. Good luck.

I would like to say YO GO GIRL! Furthering your education should always be a high priority . I am in Central FL also in Polk Co. Very close to Florida Southern College and Southeastern college is right down the street from my house.

Good for you! When I got my masters, I was working full time and found gradually that I was getting more and more tense. School/work, work/school, read, read, read text books and work proposals and reports, etc. Finally, I started getting up 15 minutes earlier (then a half hour) to do some "me" reading. What a difference! If you can do nothing else for yourself, visit this site to keep in touch!
You need to keep your sanity. Congratulations!

I admire you for going back. I am trying to work up the courage.
