Yes you can..dont Think that beacuse of your 31 you cant start agian dear friend:)
It’s the thought of 4,5,6 years studying to get to where I want to be. I have responsibilities…….house, bills, girlfriend. I just can’t see how I would make it!
Get use to doing it. It’s a new world:)
A friends mum, has just finished uni, she is 49, she worked in the industry she was studying, ran a house with 3 teenage daughters, maintained a relationship and got he degree, she is now starting her own business and loving it, I am not saying it will be easy, but it will be worth it
You can start again at any age, so as long as you feel it’s necessary. No matter what you want in this life and at what age, you go for it.
Thanks for the advice. I know it will be hard but i have so much more potetial than I am fulfilling just now. My career has been stagnant for almost 10 years and i’ve got into a rut. In a job with no prospect of promotion and not enjoying what I do. I just need a fresh start to get my working life back on track!

I did it at 30 years old. Went back to college. I had two small kids and two part time jobs and started again. It took time to get my degree, but I did. Today I am happy with my new career choice and making lots of money.

If you don’t mind me asking what do you do and how long did it take from the beginning?

I became a Registered Nurse, and it took 6 years for me to get my BSN.

Did you do nursing part time or full time?
I work long hours just now and I don’t know if i’d manage without my current wage so was considering doing something part time although obviously this would take longer and on top of my long hours it would be a huge strain!
Sorry this isn’t really advice but you should check out the song “brand new start” by Paul Weller- every time I hear it, it makes me feel like I could do anything :)
