There is no age bar for getting educated. There are many financial institutes which can give you loan for your studies. First you enquire with any bank and after getting assurance of financial loan for your studies, get admitted to a proper college of your choice and start.

I didn’t return to university until I was 26 yrs. old and I am still going strong 🙂 That was about a 10 year gap for me from high school graduation. You appreciate it more when you are older and your GPA will likely show this. Start your applications now. The sooner the better. Start doing scholarship and financial aid applications too.

Go for all scholarships, loans through financial aid (file a FAFSA), work-study programs. My grades got me a 4 yr scholarship and it helps immensely. It’s definitely a strange feeling to go from paying my bills in the real world to having to afford books, computer, paper, 3-rings binders, courses, registration fees, etc. But know that a lot of people out there have done it and some of them have families to support at the same time. It’s definitely do-able.

I started my first semester (a spring semester) with 2 lighter courses – psychology & theatre, and 2 heavier courses – math and biology. Biology was my major. It’s good to get started on your major but not to overschedule the first semester. Once you get the hang of it and studying gets quicker you can add on for the next semester.

Take good notes and study daily. You’ll do great.

I learned to not second guess myself on exams or to think that the *younger* kids on either side of me were any smarter than I am. It’s a bit of a hard, life-changing decision to make, but this is what someone told me when I said that I would graduate med school when I am 40 – “you’re going to be 40 anyways, might as well be a doctor when you get there”.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

I can completely relate. I went through a similar experience when I was 25 (I am now 28).

Trust me, it’s not too late at all. In fact, it’s the perfect time. Once a student is over 24 y.o. they are considered an “adult” student or “non-traditional”, meaning because you suport yourself you get much more in the way of loans and grants if you don’t earn much money. Not sure how well call centers pay, but I’m everyone qualifies for loans at the very least. I went back to school at 25 and I am beginning my junior year this fall… time flies. Just start taking action. Decide whether you want to start off at a community college or a university and then apply for admission. You can also apply for financial aid if you have your tax info. Go to: www.fafsa.ed.gov/

to get started with the process.

Good luck!

Point blank. . .better sooner than later. I have taken courses with many people over the age of 30 who have families and full time jobs and they all have said the same things. . .It’s never too late to go back to school and that you should get it out of the way instead of putting off further and further. My grandmother went back to school a few years ago at a community college and she was just over 70 so at 25 I think you’re pretty good. At the very least you don’t want to regret NOT going back and giving it a try. Financially, getting loans to help pay tuition will not be a problem but getting grants and scholarships may be a little tougher as the majority are given to those coming fresh out of high school. Go for it and good luck. . .

I agree with everyone above it is never to late. The frist thing you need to do is decide what you want to do. It sounds simple but people tend to try to look for schools before they think about what career they want. You may be better off going to a specialized institution like Devry or a Tech School that captures your interest. Once you find a school the next step would be to apply and get accepted. Lean on your work experience and positive outlook. The school should have a financial aid office to help with the bills. After you get an initial degree the skies the limit to what you want to do (masters, phd, etc.)

ITS NEVER TOO LATE. I went into alot of debt to finally get my masters degree at 47 years old. IT”S WORTH IT. Talk to any financial aid office at any college and they can give you all the basics. I got an AA degree at 23, a bachelor’s degree at 30. And finally my masters. I know of alot of other people who started even later. My youngest son is 27 and finally realized its needed. He’s working full time, has a family, and taking classes part-time. I have had people say to me “Good Lord I’d be 35 when I graduate” I tell them, you’re going to be 35 anyway. So you’re 35 with a degree, or 35 without one. Just be sure you are going to get a degree that leads to a good job when you get out. Get a BA in English and you’ll still have a great possibility of saying ” you want fries with that”

You are never too old. I got my undergrad degree in Dec 2005 at 52 and am now pursuing my master’s at 53 (I will be 54 this month). So, go for it. There are plenty of resources to help you financially. Start at www.fafsa.ed.gov and it will take you step by step for financial help. You need to determine your passion. What is the the one thing you would love to do that receiving a paycheck for it would just be an added bonus? Then go for it.

Good luck~

So, you’re a smart, knowledgeable, female with some especially cool stories decrease than your belt. that should definately help you meet a guy.

Midlife?! You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. My dad told me it is never too late. Yes you can go back to school. Check with

a University and talk with their finance department.

They will know about scholarships, grants and such things.

Nope, I attended a community college and they’re were people clear in their 30’s and up attending classes.
