Default Re: You never know if your to old to try!!!

I am 57 and went back to school in August of this year to work on a PhD program in theology specializing in religious education. Seeing as I had done a masters degree while on active military duty, it is easy for me to do this studying now since I am retired and only do some part time contract security work. Anyone can do the work if they can cope with a lack of sleep or otherwise find time to study. I salute the OP for going back and for folks like Gnuckfu who is doing law school while working full time. The education is worthwhile and you will not regret doing it even if it does not result in a degree. Best wishes for success and feel free to pm me if you want tips to make things easier. Paul
