Anyone else started school at 33 years old? I hope I'm not alone....
#19
One thing you might be dwelling on too much is "the choice." As in, "I am making a choice that will affect my WHOLE life."' If that were the case, it WOULD have to be a perfect choice. Guess what? With the way the world is changing these days, even if you'd gotten your degree fresh out of HS, you'd probably be working at a different job today. The world is changing, and being willing and able to either educate yourself, or to seek an education will help you keep up with - if not stay ahead of - those changes. Ease up on yourself. Get a degree, or training in a field, and then be ready, willing, and able to continue to educate yourself. Even if you find a perfect job after your education or training, there is not promise that that job will still be there for the rest of your work life.

That said, welcome, and good luck.
