Okay - I'm not exactly certain what it is that you're hoping someone can advise you on. I mean, if you're not sure what you'd like to study, no one here could possibly anticipate your interests better than you can.

If you have been out of school for a little while, you might want to dip your feet back into the water before you jump in all the way - and you didn't indicate whether your financial situation will allow you to stop working and concentrate on school full time.

If you're in Houston, you are surrounded by a number of educational options - you've got Texas Southern, St. Thomas, Rice, the University of Houston, and San Jacinto, just to name a few. There is also Houston Community College.

Why not pick one of the schools that's most convenient and apply as a part-time student? You can take a couple of courses one semester, and then think about whether you have the interest and ability (and funds) to return to school full-time.

If you're thinking about giving up a job to return to school full time right now, just keep in mind that your financial aid options are limited. The chances are quite high that you will wind up having to self-finance the bulk of your educational expenses, and that still won't provide you with much money for your non-educational living expenses.

I'm seeing the question a lot about whether there are special sources of financial aid for people who want to return to school after several years concentrating on raising children, or several years in the work force, but unfortunately, there just isn't much in the way of "special" funds that are available to promote those dreams. If you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (the FAFSA), you will qualify for financial aid on the basis of your demonstrated financial need, just like any other prospective student.

The government thinks it's wonderful that older students want to return to school and finish a degree program, but they assist in the same way that they assist any other prospective student who wants a college degree and a new career path.

I agree with you that a degree can (and probably will) open up many doors for you. You'll certainly qualify for higher paying jobs from employers that would never consider you without a degree. You shouldn't let your age discourage you, because I'm 100% certain that you will discover many other students like you in your courses. In fact, many colleges and universities now offer special dorms that are reserved for older students who are returning to school.

If you really are totally lost about your career interests, you may want to check out the career center at your local college.

Another great option is the Occupational Outlook Handbook - an annual publication from the US Department of Labor. The Outlook has hundreds of entries on all kinds of occupational possibilities, and each entry tells you about the education that's required, the prospects for future employment in the field, the working environments that people in that industry experience, and maybe, most helpful of all, a sense of the salaries that people in that business command. I've attached a link to the online version of the Occupational Outlook Handbook below.

Before you pick up and move to another city to start over, ease yourself back into the college lifestyle and take a few courses in subjects that you think might be interesting. The advantage of being in a big city like Houston is that there are so many educational opportunities available to you - you can sample from amongst those options, and really get a sense of what you want to do next.

I think you'll also find that getting back to school will expand your social network - or it will if you're open to meeting and making new friends. I don't know you, but I'm reading a lot of despondency in your question - it sounds like you're lonely - going back to school is sure to help!

Spend some time in your local library - or just browse amongst the stacks in the university library nearby. Pick up a copy of the school catalog, and read about the courses that are being offered. Don't get down on yourself - 28 is young!

I hope this helped - good luck!

Go back to school and during that time there will be other opportunities that will come your way. Be it with education, new people to meet and doors that will open. You have to have the mind set that this is not forever and where you end up will be up to you. You know that you don't want to live there so that will always be in the back of your mind. Use that incentive open you mind about other things and situations. Whatever you decide, Good Luck!

Answer 4

You should go back to school and finish it that way you`ll have a better chance of bocoming a lawer , doctor, or something you like.
