Its different for everyone. i am 36 yrs old and looking at a second bachelors degree. i cant afford to wait until i get into a cheaper school. i am hoping to get my BSN by the time im 40. and hopefully pay my student loan and start working on my son's college fund---i refuse to let him pay for college. I am married and my husband, although not earning a lot, do take care of us. I am yet to start my time at Chamberlain, but no doubt that this is the route i want to take, and no matter what, it is the route i choose and will not regret it. Best of luck with your decision. I do realize that this is an old post---im new here :)
