I decided to take my own initiative and advice, in September I begin a 3 year Degree in Psychology.It is with the Open University ...so i may be able to complete it in 2 years. I was pretty excited when I received confirmation that I was accepted!
Congrats Lara, that's a great move! I'll never regret receiving my degree though it was almost 40 years ago. It got me a great career with NASA, now I'm retired but with no real regrets. My degree is a BS in Civil Engineering. Doing it over, I would have probably majored in Marine Biology...but the $$$ wasn't there 40 years ago. I now get my satisfaction through my scuba instruction and volunteer work. NASA retirement pays for my avocations now.
