I have worked for 25 years, and for various reasons have been a SAHM for the last 3 and am now thinking about what to do next. I have long thought of my ideal alternative career, if I hadn't gone into business, as being an academic. I have been wondering this weekend whether it's just a pipe dream or whether I could actually make it happen. Does anyone have any advice or experience? I looked at an application form for PhD students and reckoned I would fall at the first hurdle as it asked for two academic references...I was last in formal education 26 years ago!! My teachers won't still be around or remember me!
