Joe, I'm on the sunny side of 50 years old. 5 years ago, I went back to school to get a new Associates degree in Media & Communication Arts. I wanted to update my original AAS in Graphic Arts, that I had received back in the early 80's. I had some health problems that required me to drop out of the program with about 4 semesters left.
But, I can tell you that going back to school is never a bad idea! I still plan on finishing when I can get some money for tuition.
