I was 34 when I got my Graduate Degree....

At the time, back in the 70's, I was a divorced single mother of 2 small kids, and determined to get an education.
Luckily, the diploma paid off and i went on to have a satisfying career.

The really cool thing about going to college at a more grown up age is ...was....it was easier to get good grades, since at that time most of the students were 25 and under, and did not have the discipline and focus that I had.

I hope you find the job market will reward all the hard work you put in to get your degree. !
