Going back to school as an adult

I would love to go back to school. I have already got the animal science degree and love to study art. I have thought about going back to school it just gives me something to do and I think education is important and I am usually the type that tries something new.

I went back to school as an adult. I was 37 and I went to university for 6 years and got my BA in psychology and my masters in counselling psychology. I didn't use it and now I am a writer and author of two books.

I did go back to school, well to college after 16 years when I threw my career in to start afresh. I spent three years studying again, it wasn't easy and neither was sitting in a classroom full of 16 year old girls. To some this might sound like a dream come true, but when you are a 32 year old man wanting to go into childcare you are subject to ridicule, hostility and suspicion. I nearly quit on many occasions. I did also go back to get my GCSE in Maths because I love maths it was adult education and it was evening classes once a week which was bearable I got a C grade so I was proud. I am not really academic minded to be honest and don't have the acumen to learn a new language which I would love to do, be bilingual.

Hey if you have the opportunity and you are game for it then I say go for it. I am 41 and I couldn't see myself going back. I have been out of the workforce for 10 years now and I actually feel stupid and just don't feel sharp anymore. But maybe stimulating my brain a bit more would help!

i wouldnt go back to school if i had the chance again. i really hated school so much in my teenage years. i am in college now and i am happy there. i would sooner prefer college than school as there are big differences between the two

I would like to go back to school and may be about to start after the summer working on my teaching certificate. I would prefer online courses if possible, because I don't want to be away from my family any more than I have to. But the classes that I would need require some nights and Saturdays. In the long run, I will be teaching in a public school system where my girls attend school and would be able to spend even more time with them.

I'm definitely going back to school to take a PhD program to be able to teach in the university. I would take up Doctorate in Physiology because I want to be able to teach in medical school. I have medical background but I chose to teach instead of being a medical doctor. I'm teaching Sciences to highschool students here in the U.S. and intend to take either night classes or if possible, online classes. I shall be providing for my own tuition because I have a job. I believe life is a continuing process of educating one's self, whether in a classroom setting or not. Happy myLotting!

Yes i will,. I'll be pursuing courses which i like the most.

My boyfriend just started college. He is 24..not old by any means, but a little older than many freshman. I think when you go at a later age, you have the advantage of more maturity and you tend to take the classes more seriously. My bf is trying to get financial aid and he is working part time. If you have a full time or day job, night school is always an option.
