Is it even worth going to college at my age?

It depends, are you doing it to better yourself and/or further your career or are you doing it just for something to do?

@IM5688 I was thinking a business degree so I can get my own salon

@Astro Well that's a worthwhile goal to reach for. An Associates degree in Business takes about 2 years full time, (longer if you do part time nights.) If you actually plan on doing your clients hair yourself instead of just managing the salon, you'll also need to be trained in and licensed by whatever state you live in. (I'm assuming you are in the U.S.)
I think if you have the time, money and determination, go for it!

@IM5688 I've been liscense for over 30 years I'd just need the business part

@Astro Then by all means go for it and I wish you good luck in your education and future salon. Oh, and just so you know ahead of time, a lot of the business courses you must take will be useless in your hair salon business, but it will give you basic business knowledge.
