    going back to school...
    so how many people here went back to school after several years "break"?



    I just got accepted (passed my entrance exam and speed typing test) today!! I should start school on November 24th for court reporting. Im so excited to have the testing out of the way, and i dont have to take any remedial classes which is a HUGE bonus. I was just curious how many people went to college after years of break and what you went for.

    I have been out of school for a year now, and I am currently studying for the MCATs to get into Medical School.

    I have to say that being out in the "real world" is not so bad, after now having to crack open the books again....

    Bleh on studying... :(

    I've taken a year off but now I'm finishing my last sememster for my bachelor's in management of technology. Working full time and going to school is such a drag :(

    Got ya all beat. :D I graduated high school in 1995 and started college in 2003. 8 years off.

    I guess it was that long because after HS I was not, shall we say, in the right mental state to continue schooling. It took years of roller coaster events to get straightened out enough. :)

    But I actually have been doing tons better in college than I ever did in HS.

    Argentra - Sorry, not trying to trump you, but....

    I graduated from high school in 1977. Went to a jr college my first year out of high school and majored in pool and foosball (in other words, I spent more time in the student union than in class). In 1981, I got married. My wife was a full time student at a university, and I took a few classes there. About 1989, I got serious and returned to school full time. I received my bsba - management information systems in 1991. I worked in information systems for 15 years before developing migraines. Early last year, I "retired" from information systems. I now work in a grocery store as a Dairy Manager.
