    Hooray for you!!!! I'm 42 and recently started a new career in medical technology. At first, I was a little nervous about being older than the majority. But, that was soon resolved when I realized that being more mature and having more life experiences was a plus. Another plus is being around most of the younger students made me feel younger. Just go your thing and enjoy the experience.

    Best of luck to you

    Dear going back to school, it's the smartest thing you'll ever do! I was 46 when I went to Warren County Vo Tech- (in new jersey) I'm still working in the place I started in after graduation and before I took my boards.I took the 2 yr course-they offered it part time for those of us that had to work.It was great-Nothing is better than taking care of and helping those who are sick and vulnerable.
