When you can't have something right now it can rule your life. I know plenty of people who STARTED college decades older than you are.

Do one of two things. Find a way you can work toward your goal even while fulfilling your family duties. Online or a local community college or a satellite campus of a four-year school near you.

If that's not doable, then make a conscious decision to shelve it and look at it agajn three years from now - or five.

Having a college degree can be helpful in the job market, but the things you've already accomplished are street-savvy things that can be just as personally and professionally valuable. People were learning lots of things long before there was such a thing as a diploma.
