I was 47 when I went to school. I had never been in college before and had to start with the basics. Within 3 years, I graduated with a degree in cardiovascular ultrasound. It took a lot of hard work, but I was determined and focused. I have just started nursing school and will be 51, almost 52 when I graduate with my second degree. I have not only gained a great education, I have gained tremendous self-confidence and have enjoyed it.

Job security is right. I just graduated with a degree in cardiac ultrasound. I have earned my registry credentials (RDCS) and cannot find a job. I am now in nursing school and plan to combine both degrees with the hopes of obtaining employment in a cardiac care unit, cath lab, or cardiologist office. The only work that I have been able to find that is relevant to my cardiovascular tech. degree is a few contingent EKG jobs (we received training in this area our first year).
