should I start college again
I am 46 yrs old and am thinking about getting a bachelors in healthcare administration--I got an assoc in rad technology 24 years ago. I would like to do it online and it is expensive so the question is do I risk going into some debt to pursue this new career. I don't think I have what it takes physically to do my current job for another 20 years so that is why I am thinking of continuing my education and it is something I always thought I could do--just worried about risk versus reward I guess.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
By all means! If you have the time to devote to it and its something you really want to do then go for it!
The only thing I would suggest is to really research the online school. Make sure it is a legit place and that your degree will be accepted by employers you may be interested in.
As a matter of fact, you might go so far as to talk to some people in the field you are wanting to go into and get some advice. Find out what schools they find acceptable and any other questions you may have.
Good luck!

Anything worth having involves risk. But what would you be risking by NOT pursuing it? Your health, your sanity, your peace of mind? Yes, it will be difficult, but think how much sweeter it will feel when you finally do get that degree. You'll know you worked hard for all the good things you get in life. You're 46 now. You could be in the career of your dreams by 50. But what if you keep waiting? Imagine turning 50 and thinking, "Oh, if only I had started 4 years ago, I'd be done by now". You don't know what the future holds, but you DO know that if you do nothing, nothing will happen. Good luck.

I think if you really want to do it and feel that its the right choice you should just go for it im thinking its better then doing your physically challenging job now so i say go for it you only live once you might as well do it and this could open some new oppurtunities for you and after completeing school and starting the job you can put some money away to save to make up for the money your now spending on education.
