You should get a Pell Grant or a scholarship and go to college! You are never to old to learn something new! One of my friends told me that one of his college classmates was an 87-year-old woman, who finally earned her Bachelor’s degree after raising a family and the death of her dear husband. She died the day after graduating–with honors! I can’t remember what she majored in. If she can do it, so can you! Perhaps you should also get on Food Stamps, Medicaid, etc….to support those kids while you are in school.
