If I completed a certificate program it looks like total tuition would be $10,800. Whatever the taxes would be on that.thavoice;1481467 wrote:So.....$12?

Good luck on whatever you decide. I wish I would have done it when I was younger instead of when I am almost 40.

My mom got her Masters in Nursing in her mid-to-late 50's through both online and in-person classes, while working full time. I'm never sure how she managed.

So yeah, you were butthurt. My very first post on this thread mentioned homesteading, and you didnt say anything.justincredible;1481458 wrote:From the netflix thread:
This is irrelevant. I am not going to school for homesteading. I am (potentially) going to school to learn as much as I can about horticulture. Something that interests me. Something that will potentially help me out in the future. What does past/current homesteaders education choices have to do with me?

I probably wouldn't go back to school because it was expensive and I hated it.
Hope this helps.

Go for it Justin.... Think of how old you'll be later on down the road if you decide to get your degree. If you're going to homestead, get your degree now. Good luck though, (you might not even need it with all of the info on the internet).

I went back for a second degree in my late thirties (six quarters in actuarial science at tOSU). You won't be the oldest person in the class, trust me - and it won't make any difference. Most colleges are full of "second round" students - and they tend to be the ones that set the pace.
One piece of advice - try to get it out of the way before you have kids if that's a goal for you and the wife. I had two grade-school-aged kids at the time and it was very tough in terms of time management. I decided to go for a second degree (12 courses, plus an audit to refresh my higher mathmatics) instead of a MBA solely because of the time demands.
t was definitely worth the time and money - I earned back the cost of tuition and associated costs in about a year even counting what my employer kicked in. Bear in mind that I worked for an insurance company, and was almost guaranteed that I would be able to move up immediately once I had the skills.

I've been giving my future education a lot of thought, too. I earned my associates degree last year and have been working full time. A couple more semesters and I'll my bachelors in healthcare management. From there, I want to start on my Masters next fall. I could go for the Masters in Public Health, which is cheaper and I believe slightly shorter. My passion has always been working within patient-care, so I'm also considering Physician Assistant school. The major downside is that the program is so intense, I'd have to quit my fulltime job.
The major bummer is that the ship has probably sailed on medical school.

Rmolin still goes to school . Its year around and he gets to wear a helmet on the bus to school.justincredible;1481221 wrote:Anyone go back to school after turning 30? My wife started her masters degree at age 30 and, if things go the way we are both hoping, I will be going back for at least a certificate (horticulture) starting next fall. She will hopefully be going back to work at UC this year which would make her degree free (going forward) and I would be able to attend classes and only pay taxes on the value of the education.
