it's an excellent idea to get some education no matter what age you are......i did it and have never regretted it.....make an appointment with a counselor at the college.....they can help you with any "lfe experiences" that may count towards credit......and please don't be put off by the ages of the students.........so many folks especially women are returning to school....i found the students totally accepting of the "older" students...you obviously have a thirst for knowledghe.....go for it!
