In the summer of 2001 I went to a job interview with a lady who looked to be in her late 50’s or early 60’s.  After the interview was over I pretty much figured out that the job wasn’t for me.  Then she told me something that made me think, she said, “The best decision I ever made was going back to college when I was 50 years old.”

She then went on to tell me that she then was able to get a desk job and would probably work this job till she’s well in her 70’s because physically it’s easy.

Remember it’s never too late to go back to college or if college isn’t your thing then there’s tons of other unaccredited courses you can take.  If you’ve been out of school for a while and am thinking of going back then DO IT!  A good education they say is the best investment anyone can make, I myself think that’s a pretty good saying.

One more thing.  If you start going to school don’t stop until you’re done.  You may lose your social life and a few summers but it will be well worth it.
