How scary!
I posted here a while back, unsure of what way to go forward, career wise. Thinking maybe I wasnt very academic enough. Anyway with alot of thought and thanks to the help of you lovely MN's, Iv decided to go back to do a foundation degree.
Nervous but excited. Hope Iv made the right choice!

Well done Gems! It's a big step but will be worth it.

Thanks hermionstranger :)

Well done.

I started uni at 32, I have a friend about to graduate in her early 30s.

Enjoy yourself.

Brilliant. I did Uni when I was 18 for 3 yrs. then went back when I was 32. Honestly I loved it, was so much better as an adult!

Hope you enjoy it as much as i did

Thankyou sashh and cupcake :)
Im very nervous, but excited too. When I get my nerves under control I should be ok, hoping this is normal. Im hoping I enjoy it as much as you both :)

Yep nervous is normal. I was terrified and so were the majority of mature student on my course. We just laughed about it!

I guess we all will be :)

I've just finished my first year of my foundation degree and I'm 43...... Go for it and enjoy xx

I've started another degree at 33, loving it. Have fun :)

Enjoy it, I've just graduated (aged 22) and we were always in absolute awe of the mature students who were doing there degree, and, y'know, living an actual life with a family and proper grown-up stuff going on

I graduated at 35 and felt amazing so go for it
