That is a personal decision. You have survived this long without one, so I don't see that it matters. You are one smart cookie anyway. Real life is the teacher. Schools just keep students from the truth of real life with teaching about subjects that don't really matter.

YES! DO IT NOW!!! 54 is the new 40. Don't waste time thinking about it. Just do it!!!!!! It is a positive move and will encourage you to learn more. Maybe you will start college afterward!!!

I dunno about the GED there in the states, but i did my GED here, but in NS, and it was the most easy test.. lol. The only thing you really you would have to brush up on would be the math part, cause the rest of the test its pretty much open book, or common sense! I think you should do it even if you dont do it to get a job or something, if its something that will make you feel better about yourself do it!

I would most certainly to go ahead and take the classes! I think it's great. You are really still pretty young if you think about it. And I once knew a guy around the same age who went back to school to become a dentist.
