It was a difficult decision for me to return to school again because I realized that we will want to start having kids before I finish plus I had to pay tuition out of my pocket so I really had to think it over. I know i don't and won't regret my decision to go back. Its something I wanted to do for myself; to keep myself busy, gain intellect, and maybe get ahead in life. I say you should go for it...if you want something, go after it.
I wasted a lot of time think whether to go back or not...I wish I went back sooner. I think I feel better knowing I went back to school, had I not...I would have still be thinking what if I did and regret not taking any actions. I'm a few years older than you so I believe you're still young and have a great opportunity ahead of you. Go for it and good luck!

I am not in that situation of having a kid but there is nothing to be afraid of! It might even be refreshing going back to school and gaining this whole new, mature perspective on things. I'm 24 and decided to go back to school last year and that was how it was for me. I enjoyed it a lot because being older, it's easier to read people's personality or see what is actually important. Things like gossip or drama would normally get one upset being a teen but being older allows such things to just ...slide off..if you get what I mean. Be excited because you are going to do something that will better your chances of a job and secure a brighter future for your family.
