   I was 30 when I started my classes if I remember correctly and the average of my class seemed to be around the 26-32 range with a few that fell outside that range. We had one guy that was 23 starting and someone I believe in their 50's as well.

    Sounds like you have your plan set and all you need to do is execute it. First, age is not an issue unless you make it one. I have someone in my class that is in their late 40's and is super motivated. As for your plan, getting your Associate's is fi...
