> Hi RSK,

> When I was in college I ended up making friends with 3 of the older students in 3 different classes. They were my favorite people to study with and present projects with. They were insightful and worked harder than the younger kids because they really wanted to be there, and it would show in everything they did. My professors clearly respected and admired them, and usually directed questions and interacted with them on a more personal level. I think it sounds like you would do great if you went back to school.Aww shucks. I think I can do the work. It is the fear of people, new situations, well you get it. I am though afraid of math but I know I am not bad just rusty. I am looking into taking a refresher class or the placement test. My advisor said you will do better than you think. And he had just met me.

> I am debating going back myself, and I completely understand your financial concerns. There are always loans. I am still paying off loans from my B.A. years, but I don't stress about that much. I try to tell myself that eventually they will get paid off. Money is not as important as quality of life. Clearly, that is just my opinion, but it helps me put things into perspective sometimes.You are right. I am applying for a deferment of my daughters loans, and I will apply for my own. I hope to be able to pay it all off myself. I want to be independent.

> Good luck with your decision. It's not like you have to commit to anything RIGHT NOW. Take your time and figure out what will really make you happy. I'm proud of you for even considering it. A lot of people never even let it cross their minds.I actually went a step further and I went ahead and enrolled in classes. I sent an email to my advisor with what I signed up for and I will see what he says.
Hey if you go back and I go back we can help each out. One of the classes I signed up for is a web class. I thought that was cool.
thanks so much for your time and support. You guys are awesome.
