Is it too late for further education?

Saralee you are the only one who can answer that question. Now I can tell you that I am a disabled nurse. I was working full time pluse as a suprevisor in a sleep lab. I was making over 6K a month with overtime. I knew I would always have a job because of the nursing shortage, and I was working towards my bachelors degree to become a nurse manager. The income would then go up more. Now this in Central california and not in San Franciso or one of the big cities where they made more money per hour. On the other hand will you like nursing? It is a very hard job, you are meeting the needs of sick people who are at their worst and you are the eyes and ears of the physicians, who I can tell you are not all nice. It's nothing to work 12 hour shifts and if you work in a hospital you have to remember that you will be working some holidays. I worked at the hospital for 20 years. I did 10 years of nights, and I can't even remember how many holidays I worked. I would not change anything except getting my bachelors degree earlier and have it now. I am disabled because of dizzy spells and continued to work until I could not function any more. I would love to get well and go back to work. Good luck on your decision.

It's never too late to learn. That is a proverb. As a matter of fact, that depends on what you're learning for. If your present work doesn't satisfy you and you're still young enough to learn another living skill that you like, why not do it? But on the other hand, you're not young and have a heavy burden of family to bear, that's another business.
