If there is something you are interested in, it is never too late to go back to school. There are all ages going to school now, as I even have classmates into their 80's. It is important though that it be for something you are interested in, either classes to help your current career or if need a change, to look into this possibility. Local schools or online schools are a great place to start to, see what is being offered that might be beneficial for your career or just of interest to get started until you an figure exactly what you want to do.

Besides working towards my career goals, going back to school has helped keep my mind engaged and has renewed my love learning new things. This was an added bonus, as I choose to go back because I was stuck in my career path. It can never hurt to look into school or classes and see what might be of interest. Also, if not sure what you want to be doing, which was the position I was in when I considered going back but just knew I had to do SOMETHING, I took career inventories which match up your interests, strengths, weaknesses, and aptitudes with particular careers. Some can be found online, at schools, or employment offices depending on where you are located. I don't know if this helps are not, but know how hard it can be figuring out which way to turn sometimes; wishing you much luck as you move forward!!
