I'm 40 and just went back to school this past January. I lost my job in September when my place of employment went out of business, and I'd been telling myself for years that if I ever lost my job, I'd go back to college. I'm going to community college though rather than a state university, because it's the community college that has the good veterinary technology program, which is what I want to do. So far, my classes have been pretty evenly mixed between "older" students like myself, and those in their late teens and early twenties, so it doesn't feel weird or awkward at all. The young people usually come to us older folks for help, too, which is kinda fun (and helps me remember the material better). My brother went back to state university at the age of 35 (also when he was laid off from his job), and he absolutely loved it. He graduated last year and is thinking about going back for grad school.
