treat: Jul 24, 2008; by the sex ghost

I started school at 24 but took 8 years to get my BSc while working full time, and went from glorified baby sitter to ecologist and started making a living wage (relatively speaking) overnight. TBH money is still an issue but that's more to do with the field I chose and at least I'm not paycheck-to-paycheck anymore. The real upside is having a career I can be invested in and do something different almost every day, and I'll never run out of things to learn or be curious about that are relevant to my job. I'm planning to go back for my MSc and know the feeling all too well; I'm already more than midway through my working career but feel like I'm just starting out and I'm getting dumber every day as I age. You just need to go, what do you have to lose? If you can, go full time or start out half-time and transition into full time once you get the routine down, you'll realize quickly that you can adapt to anything.
