And, if you are older and decided to go later in life, how did your perspective of gaining an education differ from when you were younger? Do you feel that you were/are better able to appriciate t your newfound knowledge?

I went back to finish when I was 34, and then finished my masters at 40. I am thinking of going back for my doctorate at 51. I know the education made me a better , more rounded person who has more choices in life. I definitely have a better paying job. A lot of the education that was over my head when I was younger made sense because I had experience to apply it to.

It provides you with a sense of accomplishment and helps in networking and establishing connections.

Definitely... at least, you will not take exams as if they're life-or-death things anymore...
