[quote=Anonymous]After 15 years of staying home with my children I don't have the same professional interests as I did prior to having children. Is it ridiculous to consider going back to school at age 48? I am a licensed physical therapist and have professional connections, but my interests are now in counseling, social work, psychology, and religious studies. I have volunteered and worked in various ministries helping adults and children and I believe I would enjoy a less physical career. If I go back to work in my field, I will make good money but i won't enjoy it. I was burned out when I left the field 15 years ago. Going back to school will be expensive and will delay employment. Am I qualified to do anything else? I am ok with on the job training and a pay cut. My desire is to help others and be professionally fulfilled. Money is secondary. [/quote]
