I have entertained the idea of going to Uni instead and its not that I can't but I question my ability to be there for my kids adequately while I go through school for a good 6 years minimum before I am employable. Its not like its just me and my hubby...kids and mortgage always come first but after devoting my life to others at the expense of myself, the last thing anyone wants is me to have both my kids graduate school, move on with their lives and little old me be left feeling empty and resentful. ARGHHH I go round in circles about it, but with such high goals its not something I really want to delay any further if I'm going to go for it. I'm turning 32 in June and entering the field at 40 would be fine but just starting my education at 40 on this long road I have set out for myself would be a very different matter.
My mom went to college to be a registered nurse when she was 45 years old, she didn't go until her kids were all grown up. Never say never. There is no reason that you couldn't go to school when you are 40 years old.
