[quote=Anonymous]You can only go to school "party time". Sounds good to me, let's go! Seriously, it never is too late. I am in a part time graduate program at 59 with three semesters to go. There are a relatively large number of 40 and 50 year olds going for new careers/challenges, etc. Steven Spielberg and Troy Aikman got their college degrees at 55 and 42, respectively. Obviously they don't need the credential to stay employed so why do it? Because it means achieving something. And that is what both these men said about graduating. How much is that worth? How much is any dream worth? I do it to expand in my current field as I want to work another ten years and possibly teach. Somedays I think I am crazy and why am I spending money on this when I should be goosing up the retirement funds. Other days I think, "I am learning so much great stuff here and love interacting with faculty and students and am happier than ever". [/quote]
