Good luck
She is absolutely right.

Get yourself enrolled and start working on the basics. One day, you will realize what you want to be when you grow up, and you are much better off to already be working toward that goal when you realize.

What's the alternative? If you wait to figure out what you want to do or be, and THEN enroll, you're way behind.

Don't make the mistake I did, which was waiting until I was grown and had a kid before I went back to school and finished my degree. (Although I am proud that I finished, and finishing was not a mistake at all.)

It's no fun being in your 40s and getting an "entry level" job because you're a recent graduate, while other people your age have been established and working their way up the career ladder/pay scale for quite a while.
