I could be considered non-traditional (I'm 29), and I get the pleasure of tutoring writing at the local community college. We get a lot of non-traditional students who are in your situation or worse (unemployed trying to get a degree before benefits run out) and as many of already said, they are some of best, serious students I get to work with. And they help motivate me. I may be working two jobs, but at least I don't have kids.
My advice: If your asked do an assignment you dislike, ask yourself these questions, "Have I ever had to do something I didn't like at a job? Did I do it?" Treat school like any job and you'll do fine.
Good luck and have fun.
