It’s difficult to overstate the importance of education. I went back to school at 32 with very little formal education. It was tough but having graduated after ten years I never regretted it. I’m doing a job that I love and have more employment options. Whether or not you go back depends on many factors, especially if it is a serious investment in time and money. I didn’t like my work and that was what motivated me but I had savings and no debt or responsibilities.
