You mean I'm not the only one who decided later in life?!

there's a whole gaggle of us here! Join the crowd!

I too am a late bloomer. I think people admire you more when you make a late in late decision and achieve your goal. So many people say WOW, when I tell them I went back to school at 40.

yes, the late bloomers do outnumber the youngsters. I only have maybe 3 or 4 out of a class of 30 that are younger than me. Hang in there everyone, we can do it!

I am a late bloomer as well, I am in nursing school right now and by the time I graduate I will be 50, so what- I will be 50 either way, so might as well graduate!
I have the highest respect for a lot of my class mates, the majority is older and the motivation is totally different. Over all a very anal class but good, because we want to have good grades.

Absolutely! ! ! DO IT!!! Doesn't matter if you do it at 18 or do it at 88.....it gets done all the same. I say better late than never. If you just sit around thinking you are too old, you'll never get anything done!
