I feel for you in your situation. The way I see it, no matter what our age, we should live life to the fullest until we die. I am 52 years old, but I still would like to go back to school if I can find a way. I don't want to think I am too old. What seems to stop me from doing things is that my job has me working 10 to 11 hours a day. When my workday ends I am too physically and mentally tired to do anything else. Then I have these mandatory courses I am supposed to do for my job and that has monopolized me for 2 months now.
