re: #103 windupbird is in the gravity well

When I was in art school, I was 22-ish, but two of my classmates (undergrads) were 30-ish, one was in her 50s, she went back to school to become the watercolor virtuoso she always dreamed of being (she was REALLY GOOD)

I spent my 20’s working. I tried going back to college at 25, but didn’t have any real direction or idea what the hell I wanted out of life, so I quit. When I hit 35, I realized I didn’t want to turn 40 and feel like I could have done more with my life and my education.

Ergo, a BBA at 36 and an MBA by 39. I set myself a five year timeline to get both degrees, and I’m going to have them with a year to spare. Screw these people for not seeing that older students go to college too.
