So as some of you remember my post about my work situation with my back injury. Well while I am home on a leave of absence I decided I needed to prepare for a new/different Avenue to take. I will be going back to school with My Computer Career.com this is the first time I will have actually done any form of school in over 20 years and I'm nervous as hell. Please pray for me to be able to make this work and continue to be able to support my family. Thank you in advance and God Bless!

You will do fine. Maturity in school is a big plus. Sending a prayer anyway.

WCB · 03-22-2023, 06:08 AM

I was injured on the job and went to college at about 35 and scared ****less going in. I found out I was s m a r t and did very well. Like said above, maturity helps.

You'll do fine.

HogHunter34 · 03-22-2023, 06:54 AM

Prayers up and I'm sure you will do fine. I did an online graduate engineering program at age 38-40 and did just fine. I have found that once you experience the real world you tend to get direction and can channel your focus on a career path.

I graduated High School in 1985, and Trade School in 1986, and then enrolled in College in 2012. You will be surprised at how quickly you get back into the swing of studying. It will come back to you and your focus is a lot more than it was in High School. I managed to work a full time job and complete 126 credit hours of college in 28 months. You can do it

Good luck in your new direction. Being a mature adult, you will probably be more focused on studies than fast cars and faster women.

Hey you are brave enough to go back to school at this point. I would love to, but I am very sure, I could not pull it off. My wife did it, it was very hard, but she pulled it off and graduated pretty high in her class, at 46 years old. She and our daughter went to school at the same time, it seemed to help both of them. They shared info, throughout their time in school. They did not have the same major, but they shared info on how various things worked, and best ways to get assignments completed. That sharing info helped both of them a lot. I saw what they went through, I am sure I don't have the ability to concentrate, stay focused long enough to complete a degree. My wife and I have discussed this lately, we bought know I could not do it. There were so many classes that are required to be taken that, I could not finish. Complete waste of time, extremely boring, but they are required. There were so many times, she had an assignment, that I just said hell no, I could never do that. Now the classes directly related to a degree I want, I could do, I would love to do.

If you can pull it off, you will have accomplished a very difficult feat. Good luck.

Bill · 03-22-2023, 09:46 PM

Prayers sent! I was a lifelong college student PM me a phone # if I can help you.

The best piece of advise I can give you (and that comes from a guy who partied his way out of Penn State in '75) and needed to work a few years, go to school nights and grow-up a bit before I finished 3 college degrees (I also met my wife) was what Cal Polytechnic told my daughter when she started.

You need to treat college as a job, and have a schedule of when you're in class, and when you will study. Cal Poly did a research project trying to find the best correlation of many factors to a student's grade point average. What they found was students who studied 2:1, 2 hours of study each week for each hour of class time had the best grades. They said to plan the time you go to class, study, work, and play- and gave them a weekly calander and they did an exercise in orientation to create their weekly plan.

Don't be afraid- git 'r done- never give up!

I wish I had known this simple equation

BlessedVeteran0305 · 03-27-2023, 08:56 AM

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. Today is my first day and I'm nervous as HELLLL we shall see how this goes. Already clocked in at 0830 and sitting in the virtual classroom waiting to start at 0900. 😤

It went.... Lol 2 days in and it is definitely rough learning a whole bunch of new stuff but I am praying it gets better.

Bill · 03-30-2023, 12:11 AM

Try flash cards. Get a package of index cards. As you go thru material write as a question on front ‘What is capital of Texas?” and “Austin” on the back. Flip thru them.

It’s like eating an elephant- one bite at a time.

Never give up.

It can be that way some times.

What avenue did you decide to pursue?

Drycreek3189 · 05-09-2023, 03:00 PM

My oldest daughter did not finish high school. She worked for a bunch of years, had two marriages, then decided to go to college online. It was rough holding down a job and learning online but she wound up with a masters degree and now runs a ServiceMaster franchise and about to pick up another. If you make up your mind and apply yourself you can do it ! Good luck and study hard !
