I’ve always wanted to become an elementary teacher. However, after high school, I didn’t really want to go to college. I took a few classes, but wasn’t into it. I wanted to get married and have kids. Thankfully, that did not happen. I wasn’t as ready as I thought I was.
Then I decided I would be a nurse. I was dating my husband at the time and he was a firefighter/paramedic. I thought it would be cool to be in the medical field with him. So I went back to the community college and took some more classes. Man, I did not like the science class or the math classes. So not my thing. So I stopped and went to work full time and starting raising his family and forgot about it again.
Fast forward ten years, when my son was 2 and I wanted to start taking some classes. I looked into financial aid and thought about quitting my job and take classes full time. I did take a “class in a box” which was basically watching DVDs and taking a few tests. That was easy. Then my step son passed away and so did my drive for school.
So – eight years later, we are moving and starting anew in a new place and I do not have to go back to work right away!! Yeah!! So…. will I go back to school? There are some colleges on line. I feel too old to go back, I mean I am almost forty! lol But seriously…. maybe, we’ll see. I would want to study education or computers, not sure.

Has anyone gone back after 40? Am I nuts?
