I want to become maybe like a medical assistant, then maybe a nurse, but is it too late to do so?

Not at all. My sister just turned 50 and went back to college 2 years ago and graduates next semester with honors.

No, it's not too old; go for it. You may have more discipline and motivation than those younger than you. Your life experiences will definitely help as a medical assistant or a nurse. You are more likely to be able to relate better to different people.

NOOOO. I am a Nationally Certified Medical Assistant, I went at 18. However, my mother attended and graduated with me. She was 40 yrs old. She did great and now has worked in the field for 5 yrs, doing a mighty fine job, I might add. Not only that, but there were people even older than my mom in our class alone, and a lot of people your age. Do it! You'll be glad you did. Good Luck!!!!

It's never, ever too late to go to school! I recently saw a 90+ year old woman who graduated from U.C. Berkeley. She is proof that you can always go back to school and get your degree. You should definitely return to school, maybe meet with a counselor so that they can evaluate your units and see where you stand and give you a roadmap to follow so that you finish on time. You should also apply for the federal grants which you can do through FAFSA. Good luck!

Of course it's not too late! But I would skip the medical assistant part and go right for your nursing degree. There are lots of scholarships and grants available for nursing students right now...go for it!

Never too old to go into nursing. In case you haven't heard,there's a huge shortage of nurses in the US and it's getting worse. A lot of colleges are interested in people your age-you may be more serious and dedicated than someone fresh out of high school.

Hell no! If you won't to go back, go back there is no age limit. but I would recommend go straight to nursing. That is where all the money is. Im a surgical tech and I wish I would have went back and some day I will, but nurses in the Operating room have got it made. We do more than them and they make more money than we do. don't wait any longer do it for yourself. hope that helps. being a nurse in the O.R. is something to think about>
