Exclamation I want to go to Art Collage!

I need some HONEST opinions here!

I'm not even sure if you can help really? As I'm not sure how different things are in our country. I'm not even sure yet how it all works here! LOL.

So this is a random idea that came to me today!

I want to go to Art Collage!

Ok ~ I'm 39 (shhhh) TODAY! I haven't got any qualifications, I got kicked out of school, didn't really work for long, (although I managed to have NUMEROUS jobs!) And I've spent the last EIGHTEEN years at home bringing up my kids!

It's not looking good is it?

Do you HONESTLY think it's worth going for or not??? I'd hate to think I 'could of' and missed the boat (my Dad did that ) But I also don't want to be unrealistic and go chasing after something I got NO hope of.

I could do with some opinions or advice?

What does age have to do with it Bev? If your heart is telling you to go - GO!!!!!

Look at what Robin did and where she is today - a university graduate. Don't put it off because of your age or because you feel all you ever did was be a mom.

Life is short Bev. We so often put off something because we fear it, only later to regret not having done it.

GO FOR IT!!! I'm behind you 100%.

Go for it!! If you feel that you want to go, go! Try it! If you don't like it, you can always stop.

I was an art major (Art Therapy) and I can honestly say that those four years were wonderful-- I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Thank you all so much for replying to this thread.

I'm not sure if we have counsellors here at collage, I don't know the first thing about collage LOL.

It seems soooooo huge, but I think I may look into it a little rather than just sitting here and thinking one day about 'What if's'

I do value having so much support and input ~ Thank you!

Happy birthday Bev! I say if you really want to try it then you should do it! I went to Art school and graduated and it was a blast! If you are scared at first, just try one course at a time!

I went back to university when I was in my late 30s and graduated with a degree. Find out about mature-aged students, I'm sure you'd qualify. Go for it, the only regret you'll have is if you don't.
