I am 28, many in my class are returning students, which I think makes it easier, we are there to pursue our dreams so we work harder and take it more seriously than some (not all) of the fresh out of high school girls.

Well, I'm the old one here! 33, will be 34 when I graduate. I didn't realize the value of an education when I was younger, so I didn't start college until I was about 25, and had two young kids. Better late than never! :)

I graduated at 34 and my girlfriend graduated at 52 ( check that out!) Better yet, my other girfriend graduated at 34 with a set of triplets, a nine year old daughter, plus she worked full time. Stef

Hi jobear,

That's amazing about your girlfriend who had graduated at 52 years old and the other girlfriend who graduated with the set of triplets, a nine year old and holding down a full-time job. How did they do it but overall they had accomplished their dream and goal. I hope one day to accomplish my dream and goal by graduating from the nursing program that I am attending presently. Hope to hear from you soon.

How are you all doing? How are you handling your jobs and/or family or just your sanity!!!!!! :eek: ...lol...A friend of mine made a comment to me the other day about choosing a career so late in my life....wow....I didn't know 29 was considered to be "late in your life". I feel like life is just beginning for me. After being married for 8 years and having 3 children, I am now able to prioritize many situations in my life. I am more mature now, so my decision to change my education and career goals "so late in my life", is well grounded and thought out....some people....arrrgggghhhh.....lol
