Returning to College as an Adult
Relationship Advice Expert April Masini
Advice Seeker: Dear April Masini,
I'm 35 and never got a college degree. I'm ready to move forward in my career and think that I'll need a college degree to get it. I am planning to go back full-time for a while and then part-time after a year or two, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to keep up with people 15 years my junior and that I am too far out to learn.
How do I succeed? CAN I succeed?
Sincerely,
Co-Ed
April Masini's advice:
Dear Co-Ed,
Students who return to school after a hiatus are often more clear about their purpose because of the overall time frame involved, and the sacrifices they've made in order to get back to school. Many times students who go from high school to college don't have the maturity or the life experience to appreciate the opportunity. This isn't always true, but often, it is. Many high school students expect to go to college after high school. When a student is not able to go to college after high school, that opportunity becomes rare and valuable, so that when they do go to college, the experience is one that they're more conscious of.
