Well, my first set of pre-requisite classes start in about 3 weeks and I'm getting all antsy and ready to get going. Never had I felt such enthusiasm for starting school before as I am on this new journey of mine, but I love the mental stimulation of school and learning. Last year I took Statistics 243 with my wife because my wife wanted a study partner since she had to take the class for her major and was not as excited about math as I am. I have to say that I absolutely loved it. Getting out of the office and on campus, interacting with new people, being mentally challenged to learn and stretch. It makes me feel alive in a way that I never did when I was a kid in school 20+ years ago. It's interesting how the passage of time causes you to change your perspective on things.
On a side note, for the first time in over 2 years I scored a significant legal animation project which was so much needed. I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get another legal project again but thanks to a connection I had on LinkedIn, the stars aligned and we now have 30 days to crank out a significant project. I'm hopeful that this will lead to more projects while I am going back to school.
What kinds of things has the passage of time caused you to change your opinion about?

I am in the same boat. Just quit the last job after eight years in the financial industry. And despite some opportunities, have vowed to move to an allied health profession.
I helped make this mess and I will clean it up on the other side of the fence, ie the people who needed that pension money for living and medical care, now get my services.
But I haven't narrowed down which profession as yet, I'm job shadowing with an occupational therapist for two months in the first instance.
That's awesome man, I'm pulling for you 100% But before you consider moving forward with a career change, you need to consider the wisdom of the anonymous comments posted on this blog over HERE
