I'm a "never was"...but doing the late in life education thing. I graduated in 2001 (at 37) w/an AAS degree in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. I'm planning to go back for a BS/MS in aerospace engineering. I'm 40 now and figure I'll be 45-47 when I finish. I'll be working full time also.
It's never too late. Some years ago, Dear Abby ran a letter from someone who was in his 30's who wanted to be a doctor. He talked about how it would take 10 years...so Abby asked, how old will you be in 10 years if you don't go back?
Go for it! I wish you all the best!
