I am now a college student

[RaceGrrl]

One of the benefits of Richard's job is free tuition for himself and immediate family members, so I enrolled and am taking my first class. Yep, I'm 42 and going to college for the first time in my life. My major is Marketing/PR with minor in E-commerce.

I should have done this years ago, but when you work full time, an education you pay for is harder to justify than one that's free.

Way to go, RaceGrrl!! :cool: :thumbup:

Cool, now Richard can brag about how he's hooked up with a college babe. :thumbup:

[cart7]

Way to go grrl!! :thumbup: I just graduated last year at the ripe young age of 46 doing the 3 classes a night and working 40 hours + a week gig. Enjoy!

The one thing I found was I enjoyed college and learning more later in life than when I tried it when I was in my very early 20's. I think It had something to do with being able to focus more on the important things in life.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Marketing eh? Be prepared to get hit on my lots of losers my age for the next 4 years! And yes, almost everyone in that major is as obnoxious as me. :laugh:

But seriously, good luck. :thumbup: I'll be done with my marketing degree at the end of June, and I think getting through college as well as I have (I'm right on the border of graduating with honors) after barely passing high school (made it through with a 2.0) is the biggest accomplishment of my life so far.

[Warlock!]

Make sure you let us know when Girls Gone Wild comes by your campus. ;)

Congrats, Grrrllll...

:thumbup:

[sadams]

:thumbup: It took me 8 years of being in the working world before I realized I needed a degree. Went to school nights and weekends for 5 years and got my engieering degree. Best thing I ever did.

Congratulations and good luck.

[Ankf00]

Wow, we have a lot of back to school people at OC! :thumbup:

I'm hoping to follow y'all; and our oldest is on track to attend in five years, so she might have an extra university career of avoiding mom on campus...

[RaceGrrl]

I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the studying. I think 20 years of administrative work atrophied my brain. Well, maybe it was the combination of that and moderating SeanO's posts ... :D :p

Congrats to the others here who are doing the same thing. Right now I'm still working full time, but I may have to consider changing that if I want to graduate before I'm 60 years old.

Yes, keeping me in line does give you a definite head start when it comes to working on tedious, repetitive tasks. :D

Congrats and good luck Grrl! :cool:

[oddlycalm]

Great, you'll do fine. You have the advantage of actually knowing how the world works, and that combined with a formal education makes a strong combination. :thumbup:

BTW, it's, "I are a colledge student". :gomer:

[Lizzerd]

Sometimes I wish I would have "experienced the real world" for a few years before I went to college (but not THAT many :D). I would have gone into it with a whole different attitude and perspective.

You go, Grrl... Best of luck to 'ya!
