I have an older friend who began taking a class a semester at the local college. Her husband earned a good living and enjoyed his job, she stayed home with the kids. This was the one thing that was "hers". After 20 years of taking one class a semester that she enjoyed, just for the sake of enjoyment, she earned her BA.

My own husband is encouraging me to follow in the same path and I must admit that I've been giving it some thought. Once the kids are grown, why not?

Why wait? Find something you like and take classes when you can. Working full time makes it harder but with online classes and such, but even for working parents it can be easier to do now than just a few years ago.

Now I just need to follow my own advice and figure out a major to pursue for the next degree.
