I'm back in school studying pharmacology. This is after receiving my BA in Music Performance back in 1995. I kinda like being back in school.

I would like to go back to school. I never finished college and it proved to be a non-issue as far as my career goes. But I am growing tired of what I do and I'd love to go back to college and get a degree in something else entirely. I just have to figure out how on earth I'd pay for it.

Financial Aid.

I was dreaming about going back full time. It would have to be some bodacious financial aid to get me through school AND pay my mortgage and other bills. :-(

I'm in my late 30's and just started a Masters program at MIT, having gotten a PhD in molecular biology in the 90's. It is fun to go back to school - yes, it is hard to compete with those young minds, but your perspective will bring a lot to the table. Have fun with it.

Oh, and don't pretend that you look like a 20-something (unless you are). I wear jeans and a backpack and Doc Martens... but it doesn't matter. It is still obvious that I am the old man in the class...

I'm 34 - but look 28. I think. Unless I actually DO look 34?
