Back to School At 40+

Add this Article to your website/blog

Have you entertained thoughts of going back to school to get a degree or to complete a degree program you started previously, but dismissed the idea because you thought you were too old to go back to school?

They say you can't teach and old dog new tricks, but if you have ever watched Cesar Millan's show, The Dog Whisperer, you know that's not true. Despite what you may think, you are never too old to learn and you are never to old to go back to school.

A senior citizen named Nola Ochs graduated from Fort Hays State University, at 95, with a degree in General studies. Another senior citizen named Mozelle Richardson graduated from the University of Oklahoma, at age 90, with a degree in journalism.

In 2007, a 95 year old woman by the name of Nola Ochs, became the world's oldest college graduate. She earned a degree in General Studies from Fort Hays State University.

The second oldest college graduate in the world is Mozelle Richardson. She received a degree in journalism at the age of 95 years from the University of Oklahoma in 2004.

If Nola Ochs and Mozelle Richardson can go back to school and successfully earn degrees, so can you. The only thing standing in your way is you. Instead of thinking about being too old to go back to school, think about the benefits of returning to school. Instead of spending time thinking about how it cannot be done, think about how it can be done.

Going back to school is an opportunity to:

1. Grow professionally.

2. Grow professionally.

3. Career advancement.

4. Acquire new skills.

5. Come upon new career opportunities.

6. Change Careers.

7. Set an example for children/grandchildren.

8. Experience personal satisfaction.

9. Achieve educational goals.

10. Expand your personal and professional network.

A commitment to continuous learning is essential to living life abundantly. Knowledge is power.
