I'm having second thoughts about this back to school thing,maybe 50 is to late o be starting a new career.Any thoughts?I sure would appreciate the feedback.

I'm tempted to go back, but I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!! You just keep truckin'!!! You don't know what God has in store for you, but you know it's got to be good!

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE....GO FOR IT. HAVE THOUGHT OF DOING IT MYSELF. IF YOU'VE GOT THE RESOURCES AND THE TIME TO DEDICATE TO IT....I SAY GO ALL THE WAY WITH IT

(oops, sorry didn't mean to use the caps)

Thank-you,it is the math that is holding me back I need grade 11 for my course in the fall.

Learnin' new stuff..Doin' new things..Both good reasons to do what you're doin'..If it makes you happy..continue

go girl....never to late...wish you the best...

thankyou for your support and I'm not going to take it personally that you were shouting at me I type one finger at a time and bound to make spelling errors.
I was seriouly thinking that I was becoming a thread stopper here.School is very important to me but I get overwhelmed maybe it is the menapouse doing it.

Change & adventure are part of what keeps life EXCITING.
Sure school is tough, just take lighter loads.
I sold 1 business & have started 3 TOTALLY different things.

CHANGE, it is GREAT.

I did it, got a job and eventually it got outsourced so I am temporarily retired. Don't have to work but am thinking of going back to school again. WTH a few more sheepskins with what I have already got and I won't need any new wallpaper.

Want to be your own boss contact me.

Thanks everyone I have to go look for my umbrella don't want to show up for class looking like a drown rat. thanks again ttyl have a good day!

I have had the day from hell as far as school goes .First I am registered for grade 10 math.Then after explaining to the guidance counsellor that I have been out of school 30 yrs he tells me that the Canadian curriculum has changed so much that what they used to learn in grade 9 they now learn in grade 6.
So he suggests that I go back to upgrading class ......... where the teacher there tells me I am better off to go to the college and up grade there....So I unregister only to be talked into reregistering and give the grade 10 a try by another councellor.I had been trying to do correspondance math but found it to difficult.My head is about to explode.So much for trying to get back into the working world.
Has anybody else had the run around trying to acomplish your goal? Would like to hear your feedback.thanks

School is a great goal. You can do lots of things without a diploma. Read the book "Why We want You to be RICH" by Donald Trump & Richard Kiyosaki. very interesting look at the business & financial world.

Thankyou oldsage for your feedback

Kiyosaki has some great financial books.
"Rich Dad/Poor Dad" was on the best seller list for 5 yrs. I learned a lot & just read it 1 1/2 yr ago. Highly reccommend it to all.

I am thinking about going the same route. I believe we should still be competitve in our goals, it's what keeps us sharp. Life's not over yet!

I believe Old Sage (Don) has some great ideas too, if you want to be your own boss!

Cleo, is right about one thing, I have lots of IDEAS.

Just want to thank everyone for their support and listening to my rant yesterday about school.Today was a great day and I have an appointment with a person from the college tomorrow ,I found out my course is available part time as well and with more start dates so the presure is off to start in Sept.I might end up going to summer school to get the required grade 11.Hope you all have a good nite I have some homework to do but hope to talk to you all soon.carol

Stay with it Carol, you will make it, anything good takes work.

Very glad to hear that, Carol. It sounds like it 'll work out better for you.
