A little humor in geography class today...

I'm thinking about joining Mr. Fitzgerald, and becoming a Phoenix. Seriously. I need to go back to school. NEVER TOO OLD.

It's definitely never too late. I started back at the age of 30. I will be 34 next month and a senior after this quarter. LA Tech even did an article on me a couple of months ago for non-traditional students. It was the best decision I ever made in my life.

I appreciate the words. I will be 37, when I go back in the fall. At least that's the projection. I will be looking like Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School. Well, not that old.

LOL! That's how I felt, too. I thought there wouldn't be many people my age when I started back, because I hadn't been in college in 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised at how many 30-, 40-, and even 50-somethings there were doing the same thing that I was doing. Good luck to you. You'll do fine, I'm sure.

Don't let it bother you when the girls call you old man though. I started back to school at LSUS when I was 33 and graduated Tech when I was 38. So I know all about it. LOL

Gr8 story. And yes, I have always enjoyed kicking severed Viking heads from village to village - because I couldn't get their pants on the ground

At LA Tech, you never can tell. Some professors may be attempting to speak in English, but they don't do it very well. LOL

All I can say is... Go for it!!

I think the hard part for me, is finding something I'm interested in doing, but something I can also get a job doing at the same time. I know alot of college grads, including my own brother, who have degrees, and aren't even working in the field they studied. That would suck pretty hard I think.
