I wonder how many in this community have gone back to school after many years. And how you went about it ,and weather it was worth the struggle and reorientation to a classroom. Mental illness interrupts every aspect of our lives and in my case I never was able to go to college. I work at a museum thats on a college campus and I feel so pulled to the classroom and being a part of the academic community. The students are my kids age so I'd be a misfit- but I always have been anyway. Im bright enough and although I'm well-read I remain uneducated as I rediscover books in my home that are worn but I have no memory of reading. Still I'm relentlessly curious about so many things and want to persue an education now while Im still physically able to go to a campus and interact with the people.
Also does anyone know about "testing out" of some credits for life-experience?
Also its necessary to improve my earning potential if I can by having some formal education on my resume.
Thank you in advance.
