[quote=Anonymous]Can you just take classes or audit, or do online classes like the ones through Harvard for personal enrichment? I started a grad degree in my thirties -- I know, not the same thing -- but even at that point in my life I found it hard to deal with the young 20-somethings who were regarded as the rising stars, the academic bureaucracy, the psychological mindf*** of academic politics, and having to go back to being "entry-level" with no credit for my previous life experience, education, and professional accomplishments. It was really, really tough. Academia will not value anything you've done with your life outside academia...this was hard for me to adjust to. Teaching jobs are virtually impossible to get in certain fields, and I think your age would not be a help. I would read or post on the Chronicle of Higher Education forums to get more specific advice.[/quote]
