lynn329,
Just in case your decision isn't final -- my 86-year-old mom has a good friend who got her MSW when she was in her 60s or 70s. She's now in her 80s and specializes in elder abuse cases, is really good and it and loves it. I was 30 when I got my bahcelors, 40 when I got my master's, and 50 when I got my Ph.D. during which time I raised 4 kids also. I paint and write as well and sold articles as well as paintings during those years. I was usually the oldest in the class, but I was also usually the best student! [Wink]
