Help talk me out of this...

I can post with experience on this topic, I graduated with a B.S. in Economics and Finance in 1975 (yep I am on the far side of 50 and near side of 60) then graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1995, 20 years to the day later with the addition of a wife and a kid.

I will just tell you the facts, it was very difficult not only for me but for the family because of the quiet/private time needed for study every single night and many weekends. I started off part time and realized after a year I would never finish that way so switched my life to full time student, just my experience but if at all possible that is the best way to do it for sure. It is a huge personal commitment for you and your entire family, you must have their fullest support, otherwise you just can't hardly do it.

The good side: it is very rewarding to say you did it when you finish and more education always opens new doors.
