Hey Josh,
I did the same thing as you almost (no marriage though) but I was in school for business and then up and quit and went into IT. the money was so good I stayed for almost 10 years. I am 31 now and started back to school nights this past spring to finish my degree. If you go to night school full time you could have more people your age in your classes. Thats what I decided to do.
Im proud of you for following your dreams and determination to reach your goals. Good Luck!
