I'm a 49 year old college sophomore:eek: You'll love it!! Because I work, I do take on-line classes for some things. Others, you just have to be there. It all depends on your learning/study style. So, school starts for me again on 8/27. This semester, it's government, accounting II and art appreciation. It's never too late. Don't overload yourself and enjoy. It's amazing how many people in my classes are my age, so I don't feel out of place at all. First, go on line and fill out the FAFSA (go directly to their website, don't pay anyone to do it for you) and check with the financial aid department at your school. I got a $400.00 grant this semester from some weird place, along with my Pell Grant. There's all kinds of money out there to be had, you just have to look and ask a lot of questions. You'll feel so good about yourself and, if you have kids, it will set a great example for them. GOOD LUCK:p |
great idea!!! we are never too old to learn ... I advise many oif my patients to do just that! what will you study???? |

Go ahead and start looking now. I did a combination of my own research and talking to the financial aid department. They were a huge help! |
That is soooooo great for you!!!! and I also know how wonderful it feels. I too have just reg. for classes. My major is nursing. I also understand that it can be hard to find the time and money for this. But in my case, I have to work, my husband works hard but with three kids we need both incomes. So after many years of saying "I really want to be a nurse" and doing nothing about it, working a job that paid well that I hated, I decided it was time. I quit the job and have signed up! Now don't get me wrong we still need the money, but my husband said he think we can make it if I find a part time job for now. We will have to give somethings up, But it will be sooooooo worth it in the long run. This is the web site I used to file my financial aid. www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov ( it has paid for all my classes- I'm taking four, but I will have a loan to help pay for books and stuff. Good Luck to all of us who are attending now!!!!! and to those of you who are thinking of doing it, it might be hard, but it will be so worth it in the long run. Amy:) |

I am 37 and just started some on line classes at our community college. I was in law enforcement. After 13 yrs I have decided it is not for me anymore. I am looking into a degree in social services. It is hard w/ husband and kids, and all we do as wives, but it is satisfying. Good for you. You should feel proud!:bravo: |
Good for you:)!!! I bet you are excited, did you take advantage of the tax free weekend? |
I sure did! For both myself and the kidlets! |
Congrats. I went back to school at an "older" age and loved it. I got grants and other help that pd for everything. You will do good at what ever you decided to do. |
