Hi, its 33 considering going back to school. Thanks for all your answers and support?

Question

Its a big decision as I do not have the finances or emotional support (I was abroad for 2 years and just broke from the love of my life, and so moved back home to Canada but to a brand new city). I have always thought of going to university and felt ripped off due to all the hardships/neglect from a child. yes, Ido it for self esteem which makes me suffer but also because I do not enjoy dental hygiene at all. I dont know what career to choose but I know that going to school can help you find that. There is a great program at a university here that has an arts and business co-op degree program. So I can take all those interestnig arts courses which I like and mix it with business skills. then you go on a co-op to all these diff't companies and that way you can also help pay for your education! I know that I like the arts and like some business so going to school can help me find what I like! this program is 4 years 8 months. but sure i am hesitant as its a big risk in every aspect

Answer 1

Listen -

Let us speculate that you only have ONE life to live and everything you do in this life has major significance. Wouldn't you rather spend the time and get your degree which would definitely enhance your standard of living rather than living the way you are now, in self doubt and self pity? GO FOR IT NOW! Hurry Up!! Why aren't you registering instead of still reading this message?? Well . . . You get the point

Answer 2

Go for it!!! You are never too old to try something different. Who knows what you may encounter during the next almost 5 years. Sure, it sounds like a long time but look at it this way, after completion it'll give you at least 25 years of doing something you hopefully will like, many new friends, a different outlook at life, possibly meet a soul mate, it'll give you something to strive for, it will keep your mind active, and it may also give you a chance to settle in and prove your self worth! Remember - YOU are worth it.Good Luck to you as you make your decision.

Answer 3

I went back at 33 and am graduating in May. I have 2 kids and work full time. I love it. I have learned more, gained insight on other land, people, ideals, and religions. I see a bigger picture of the world now and am grateful.
Do it and you'll live and love it.

Answer 4

JUST DO IT. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just do it. Hands down. Don't hesitate. Just go. You will always regret it if you don't. Remember, "you never can tell if it's heaven or hell but I'm taking my trail on trust. And I haven't a doubt that my soul will leap out upon its wanderlust."
