This is way down the list but I hope you see it, Liz.
I graduated from the University of Michigan - at age 33. The best advice I give all younger people is to, no matter what, STAY IN SCHOOL. Do not quit! It is so hard to go back once you leave and the odds are against your graduating after dropping out. Just stick with it, and believe it or not, it actually gets a little easier.
Good luck to you!:7
