Could I get some uplifting stories of people going to pursue their college degree in the their middle age?

I’ll be in my 40’s by the time I’m done with school and all the hoops. I think a lot of people are in an even better position to be successful at college in their older years because they know themselves better, aren’t trying to balance a booming social life/thirst for rushes, and are often more organized than 20’s. I think one of the hardest parts was creating a rhythm in my life (routines) that would enable my success at studying, meeting deadlines, keeping my paperwork organized etc. I have ADHD, so that stuff took time to get the hang of. It’s been game changing though once I found systems that worked for me. Itfeels good to be pursuing a goal/pathway that matters to me/aligns with my values and ultimately will improve my/my kiddo’s/my family’s quality of life.


I think it’s worth doing if you know what you want to do with it,mhave an aptitude for the career track, and that it realistically brings in the earnings you’re needing/wanting. Definitely be cautious of degrees in underwater basket weaving and, if you’re considering an online or provided trade program, research their credibility/history.
