I think I just might stay in school for the rest of my life....
#6
Hi and welcome! This is a fantastic site with lots of smart, helpful members. I think all of us get a little confused with all the options when we go back to school. As a college instructor who has recently gone back to school through non-traditional means I can attest to all the options. You can see in my signature line what I have done and see the variety all done being over 45 with a hubby and two kids at home. Keep in mind that the government changed the financial aid rules this August so you can now only obtain aid for a total of 14 or 16 semesters - ever. Keep this in mind if you need to use aid for school. If you do I wouldn't recommend doing multiple associate's or bachelor's degrees, but instead keep working upward. I would look and talk to people doing jobs that sound interesting to you and see if what they do on a day to day basis is what you really want to do. Maybe you can observe them for a day or two to really see what it is really like. I would also recommend that you look at degree requirements to see if the courses required are one you would actually want to take. Good luck! I know it is daunting, but you will figure it out.
