I would like to thank all of you who responded to this discussion. I had well over 200 respones and nearly all of them were encourageing. I did go ahead and start my course. I have been going for two weeks not. I was over welled by the amount of encouragement and well wishes I had. You people are the best. Thanks for the support.

i didn't see the first post/ just now saw this one/ i'm surprised you questioned the decision, to me it's a no-brainer anyone that has a chance and the time to take more classes, should do so best wishes...

You are absolutely right to carry on studying, I think we value education even more as we get older. I started my degree at 41 and found it really rewarding and enjoyable. When I was at school I resented speding time on study, now it is the reverse. I wish you success!!

I remember your discussion and I remember replying. I am so glad that you decided to continue with your idea of starting this course of education. I am really plesaed that i just happened to run across this topic in the new topics section, because I would have wondered what had happened to you if I had not heard! ^_^ Kudos on taking that step. I really think that it is wonderful, and I am certain that you will never regret it! Good luck, you will learn so much! ^_^
