I was 39 when I switched careers and went back to school with zero background in the new field.

I was dealing with life and death daily. Started to bring it home. I was done. Wondered if I has what it takes academically to succeed too. It wasn't easy.

Work all day, Go to school at night. Stay up and study till 2:00am, get back up at 6:00 am and do it all over again. Went on like that for two years. Like others have said, its not an easy task, be mentally prepared. But, is anything really important to you or your family easy to obtain?
