I don't want to be a lifer!!!

The more and more that I think about going to school the more I get exited about it.
But the more I think about what I want to go to school for makes me scared of it.

I honestly sometimes feel like I don't have what it takes to get a good job in that field.
Everyone tells me how hard it is... it's really discouraging.
One of my parents friends told me that I shouldn't even bother going back to school at all and it's too late for me. And that I should just try to jump on the Fred Meyer Train, I don't want to be a Fred Meyer lifer though... And what an awful thing to tell me! I am not even 21 yet! how is it too late for me to go back to school?
My opinion is that it's never too late.
And I need to learn not to listen to things like that and get discouraged.


Maybe thats why I procrastinate.
I don't think that I have what it takes but for the sake of not listening to my own advice...
I'll never know if I don't try.

Right?

Hey girl!

I don't think it's ever too late to go to school! My awesome roomie is almost 28, she's still in school, and lovin it.

It's just that annoying balance between "I love to learn, therefore I want to be in school" and "Hey, wait a second, don't I have a better life out there?"
I guess it seems like most people want a degree because they know it'll give them a better wage.
But not usually...Um...I dunno, I think you should do what you want!
You CAN do it, too, I believe you can! :)
