It is a 2 year program. Can you stand on your feet all day? Can you help lift someone if they need it? If you answer yes to both of those questions, it would be a great education/career choice.

Never is too late, never is too old.

Too hard ? It is always hard! Success is hard but if this is something you really want nothing can stop you then, one by one each block will be out of your way cause you'll pass them and that has nothing to do with age, as long as you want something, no matter what are the numbers and sizes, you will get there.

Plus, you deserve to follow what you really enjoy doing! So never doubt, never waste time, go ahead and guide your life into a path you'd feel comfortable.

Long time ago there were a woman nearly in her 80's and she finished high school. I guess you can start your new chapter now.

In all honesty that field  will be over saturated in the next 5 years ... It's my day job to know that so I do :) I would suggest anesthesiology if  you're open to suggestion and interested in a  medical field career that will  be in high demand in the next3-  8 years. But I agree with Echoos you're never to old to learn ! You should look into what will be in demand though before you jump into anything..  Good luck :)

I did not take that program :) I'm in career counselling ... And yes it does take longer... I just want you to also look at and consider what you're career options will be after your schooling is all.. That was just an example but I understand you may not want to spend a significant amount of time on schooling at your age cos I'm almost the same age :p

No :) you shouldn't!! The fact that you want to make a change is so awesome .. I know how very hard it is .. I'm not always awesome at responding to notifications .. But if I can help you in anyway I will :) I think you're very brave for just getting ready for your change .. Honestly I do. I'm not one for blowing smoke up someone's a$$ so if I say something I mean it .. You're doing great just by putting your mind in the right direction :)
