What does age have to do with it? Is there an age limit for returning to school or changing careers? I hope not, lol!
Sometimes it's more about being happy and fulfilled in a job rather than what you make. Of course we need to be able to support ourselves and children but one can always find a way to do that.
And, FWIW, the few years of sacrifices my sister and BIL made for her to return back to school have paid off in spades. She graduated last May and was offered the position she has now a few weeks after graduation. In less than a year the money she has earned has just about made up for all their sacrifice. She is very well paid but she also adores her job.
My friend has one semester left to finish school. She dropped out to get married and have babies. Now she is 38 and working dead end jobs. She thinks she is too old to go back to school and finish her degree. I always tell her a year will pass either way. How do you want to use that year? Complaining that you never finished school or actually FINISHING school?
Time will always pass. How we use that time is up to us. You always have a reason as to why you cannot do something. Turn that around and I bet your life will change.
