Is it worth going back to school as an adult?
I'm in my late 30s and I never finished my degree. I've been thinking about going back to school, but I worry I'm too old, it'll take too long, and it'll be hard with a job and family. Is it worth it to go back to school as an adult? How do people balance school with work and family responsibilities?

I graduated college 5 years ago and wish I'd known this earlier: the specific knowledge you learn matters less than learning HOW to learn. Develop good study habits and critical thinking skills and you can adapt to any subject or career.
Break big assignments into small chunks with their own deadlines. 'Write a 20-page paper' is paralyzing. 'Write one paragraph today' is doable. The hardest part of any project is starting, so make starting as small and easy as possible.
