I've been thinking I want to go back to school to get a degree in a science field, I don't know if I will pursue physics or biology, they both seem so interesting. At first I was dead set against it, but then I asked earlier if you have to have a natural ability to do this, and someone answered and said it was passion and hard work, so that got me thinking maybe I could do it.
The problem is I'm 33 and the only thing I have is a ged and some college from years ago. I dropped out when I had my daughter and ended up working the past 11 years. She's older now, and I work nights, so while she's in school I wanted to start taking classes. My q's are am I too old? I know it's going to take years, and by the time I'm done I will be in my 40's. Will I still be able to get a job at that age? Am I just setting myself up for failure? I brought this up to one of my friends and she said you're going to be in your 40's anyways might as well just go for it, but I'd like to hear from people that actually went through it.
