Decided to go back to school...
This topic was created in the Personal Development forum by Boots1313 on Sunday, August 25, 2019 and has 9 replies.
I'm 30 and a little afraid of enrolling in a college program again.
Anyone else go back to school over the age of 30?
What was your experience? What was the field?
Was it an away school or a local program?
How about online courses?

Posted by Boots1313Yes I did, I studied anatomy and physiology, body massage and the study of Essential Oils. It led on to other things and I’ve never looked back. I’m now practicing as an Intuitive Life Coach and NLP therapist. I also incorporate astrology readings into my business.

If you love what you study you will be successful
Good luck!
It was a local college...
Posted by ClairDeLuneCongratulations, you will do awesome, I know it!!
Literally starting class tomorrow, I feel you. My stomach has been in knots since Friday night
I just feel like it's now or never
Before the kids and house etc ..
My bf is being super supportive.
I'm going back into a field that I use to work in. But now they want you to have a degree in it (TBH I could teach a course in it by now) but I'm sure it will help in a lot of ways to continue my education and lead to bigger things
Posted by MyStarsShineI'm right now deciding between the online courses or local school...there is only one school on Long island that has the curriculum...it's a little far for me.

I prob won't be able to work while going to school.
I need to figure out the financial aspects also.
I tried this route 6 years ago and just stopped...
I'm determined this time. Now or never...before kids and a house and family etc...
Posted by RedbullTrades are always important.
I didnt do the "usual" college thing. It wasnt till my early half of my 30s the recession no jobs my house got foreclosed I started thinking differently. I went to technical college to learn a "trade" so to speak but you learn things outside your particular course too. Thats when I realized the value. Some years later I had a new plan in a new city this time I went and took all kinds of stuff in different fields business to other trades. First time I really spent nothing second there was loans included but by me being more established I didnt just take the loans and... I knew what to do with money from a different perspective. Happy I went dont think I would have learned all that otherwise but cant dismiss economic impacts either.

That's AWESOME!
I was 28 the last time I went, close to 30.
I enjoyed it more.

Dont be scared, you'll like it, I promise. It's harder to manage day to day life and school, but once you figure that out you'll be fine.click to expand
There are a lot of logistics to work out.
But now is the right time
Posted by ClairDeLuneYes! Networking and word of mouth/recommendations only get me so far.Posted by Boots1313Posted by ClairDeLune

I completely get you, I've been in emotional turmoil with education. Not meaning i dont want to do it, but I know there will be a struggle with balancing soon.
At least with the degree, they can't knock you down from your position just now that your own your way for that paper😁 You'll do amazing love.

Like you said when I have the certification they won't be able to take it away from me. It also helps with pay and benefits and upward mobility in general.
I'm ready for this.
Posted by _VirgoGent_Yes I hear you on that.
I went back to school at 30. Was working in a manufacturing plant making $ 12/hr. I didn't want that to be my life so I put my G.I. Bill to use and went back to school. I did much better in college than high school. Guess maturing a bit helped a ton with that. I just wish that I would've put better thought into deciding on what field to get a degree in. Especially one that wasn't going to cost me a dime. That's my only regret. Like most with a college degree, I don't even work in a related field. lol
Good luck!
I have an associate's degree in history.
Thus far I have non nothing relating to that...that's why I didn't purse a B.A.
The field in going back into I have 15 years experience in. They now however require a certification.
I know it will be useful, because I will be active in the field I'm getting my degree in.
It's hard to figure out when you're younger what you want to do, maturity definitely helps

Cap + pisces= no growth. Basically two people trying to portray an image of love to each other. Nothing to learn total stagnation.
Cap+ Cancer= they dont even click. Relationship built on desperation.
Cap+ scorpio= too vindictive
Virgo ÷ cancer= no st

Wondering if it's just me. Supposedly, Saturn return is different from a Saturn transit but whatever they say..I think Saturn transiting sun is equally as rough. I've observed it from people in my own life and from Kim K. getting married/divorced in a yea

somebody uses your own words on you?
e.g.
dude says: "feels empty without you."
you've used these words but in a completely different context once in the past. and in some desperate attempt to hold on, they decide to activate this like some kinda trap

Hello ladies, do you have any favourite tutorials (like on youtube) you found helpful? I am not good with make-up, or highlighting/concealing something and most tutorials are done by girls/women who put on like 5 layers of foundations and its overwhelming

Hiii everybody
So what does it mean, when you love someone, love when you’re near them, but you don’t like it when you stay around them for too long
Like you just wanna be alone?
Or feel good when the conversation with them in the phone is finall
