Undergraduate / Returning to college at the age over 40 - how would this education change your life? [9]

A start need some ideas how to bring it fruition Thanks

My dream of returning to college became short-circuited; financial shortage, an early marriage, ensuing pregnancies, and other factors interrupted my educational progression. In spite of these factors, my dream did not die; it lied dormant in the midst of the hope that someday, somehow, the opportunity to continue my interrupted education will arise. Continuing my education as an adult is different from my earlier college years, however, because there are new factors that impinge upon me: juggling a family and a job, the financial pressures, and my fear of going back to school are just a few.

The good news is that Empire College makes it easier, and going back to school is within my reach today more than ever before. Statistically I am one of the major trends that have been the return of adults over the age of 40 to colleges and universities. My returning to school holds the great promise for activating the dormant dream, living it, and fulfilling it. In my cases, I would like to have a white-collar career rather than a blue-collar job. Currently I employed as an administrative assistant at a small nonprofit environmental education center, part of my job responsibility is to update our website, updating and maintaining marketing materials and the databases. I petitioned my executive director to launch an eNewsletter to lessen our paper usage and to expand our client base. My hope is to refine these talents through courses at Empire College to advance to the development and marketing department. Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan." I am not a superhero or social activist I have an idea of what I want out of life. Fortunately, this is the time in my life when I get to take the lead; I get to decide what you want out of it.
