I would really like to do a history degree, but am i too old?

[Totallyfloaty35]

Im 40 now and have not been in education for a while so im a bit scared of applying .
I also am very slow at typing due to RSI from my previous job(i was a Holistic Therapist) where i spent hours doing sports/pregnancy massage.I also have 3 children and a DH that works away.
Somebody talk me out of it (or in to it)

May I heartily recommend OU AA100 (The Arts Past and Present) which is a pretty-much compulsory opening move for most humanities degrees (it's the replacement for the old Arts Foundation)? I've just finished it, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mspontipine- I have that quote on my facebook profile

Go to Birkbeck! It is fabulous and the History dept is really strong, with some star academics. It is easy to get to - 10 mins from St Pancras etc by foot and you only need to be there 2 or 3 evenings a week for 24 weeks of the year for 4 years! It is set up for mature students - lots of understanding and support. At the end, lots of people go back for more - MAs etc
