So - has anyone here gone back to school in your 40s? Changed your career? I’d love to hear about it. What did you study? How was going back to school? I need inspiration as well as practical advice.
Yes, I did it. Best thing I ever did.
Prior to being a SAHM I was in marketing (had an MBA). Then raised my kids full-time for 14 years. Then went back to school to get a clinical mental health counseling degree. School was 2 years and then earning my clinical hours towards licensure was another 2 years. I now have a successful private practice.
