Reply #1: You'll do great!! [View All]

I'm planning on going back for my master's one of these days, but I was where you are in 1994. I started college in 84, but quit after my junior year, and took a 6 year long hiatus.

I was only 28, but felt positively decrepit next to the youngsters in class. I remember going to the bookstore one day and having the kid in front of me write a check. The cashier asked him for his birthdate, and he said 1977.

I thought, "This kid didn't even see Star Wars in a theater!" That's when I knew I was officially OLD.

I can definitely empathize with your situation! You can do it! :-) Plus, it's amazing how much better your grades and attitude are. When you don't go out partying every night, and are paying for things yourself while working, you'll surprise yourself with how easily school just happens for you. You'll definitely have to put in the work, but with the benefit of your real world experiences, it comes much easier to you. It did for me anyway.

Good luck!
