Hi all I'm rather new to this but would really appreciate any advice you have to offer. This really is my only source of advice for the time being. I'm 47 years old and married with two children, one in college and one in middle school. I completed high school overseas and took a few courses at a college in Florida, studying to be an X-Ray Technician. Because of circumstances at the time I took a job at a local Dunkin' Donuts and 16 years later, I am the GM of several stores now in the Boston area. While this job pays well, it is unfulfilling and would love to do something in the health care field, medical assistant or pursue a degree in nursing all the way. I would prefer taking classes online as it would fit better into my schedule, but if I have to commute then I will. My question is, where do I begin. If I have few prerequisites, is that a difficult foundation to build upon? Are there any online colleges that you have used and/or recommend? Looking forward to hearing from you all. I know this is the right move for me at this point in my life.
