I asked this question over a year ago when I first started on the F&S website and didn't know any of you guys but would like to

[chuckles]

Pray-hunt-work, it is never too late if you are interested in more education. I got my undergrad degree at 33 and my masters at 43. If you want it you can make it happen.

Dcast,I only curse the arrogant, "I know more than everyone" types. Once the job starts it becomes a team effort. Although I've been known to mumble "everything works on paper", under my breath from time to time

I am an accountant. I am extremely busy from Feb-April 15, but after that I have plenty of ree time to be outdoors.

[Pray- hunt-work]

Chuckles- I thank you for the insight. Where I am at currently in life I "could afford" college, however, I do intend to further my education in the,hopefully, near future. I do not know just what direction I want to head in, but prefer it is something hands on, as I don't do as well with desk work as I do with physical labor.

[chuckles]

Pray-hunt-work, I hear you on the desk thing. Despite the degrees I have never worked in a Landscape Arch. office. Every time I interviewed they said "You are going to sit in that cubicle and do computer drawings of others people's work for the first three to five years." I just can't do it. Even now the job does not involve much labor but I am only in the office two days a week.
Best wishes for your new adventure, wherever it takes you!

I teach Middle School and love it. For the last decade I've taught U.S. History. It was tough the first few years but now its fun and challenging in a good way and the kids keep you young.

I have been a police officer since 1999. Before that I worked various jobs, including security at a nuclear power plant and many grocery stores.

[Ontario Honker Hunter]

Yep, never too old to learn. I finished my PhD at age 52. I am retired from numerous jobs but most recently US National Park Service. And yes, I have lived in Canada since 1989. Sometimes it was a long commute to work! :-)

I have been an organic dairy/poltry farmer, a carpenter, hunting guide, fishing guide, a carpenter again, a small business owner (drive thru coffee joint) and now I am a principal partner at an energy efficient construction firm.
Pray-Hunt you taking Reds Eats to Florida? Nice. Good luck!

Pray h. w.

I was 31 when I finished my undergrad degree, so it is never too late! A friend of mine just finished his PhD at 64.
