You can do it Redturtle!! It IS hard, but it WILL be worth it... After retiring from a 30-year teaching career, I went back to become a Physical Therapist Assistant... I loved the classroom, but became REALLY tired of grading papers, etc... soooo, new career. It was tough at times, but my sweet DH put up with me being gone (physically and mentally) a lot and now I'm working in my new career. Still learning so much every day, but loving every minute of it...

Hang in there!!!!!

Hang in there. It will get easier as you fall back into the study mode., Keep us posted, especially when you start to lag a little, we will keep encouraging you as long as it takes. Good luck

Way to go! I went to college when I was in my 30's with a goal to graduate before I was 40. I got my diploma in English Literature just after I turned 38 and what a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. Please keep us posted on your progress and be sure to have people around you who are positive encouragers. It might seem like a long road ahead of you, but you will feel so proud of yourself when you are finished. No words can describe it!

Hang in there---you can do it!!!!! Just give up stuff that you always wanted to give up but never had a good enough reason, like constant housework. I'm headed back for my 3rd degree this fall (teachers get paid based on their education) and I'm looking forward to that part---and being back in school. I love the challenge.

The first year I had my own classroom I was 57 years old. Hang in there. You will make it.
