7. If that's what you want to do and you have the means, why not?

I'm in my 4th year of a Bcom and I am taking my first poli sci course. I love it. I'm 38 w/4 kids. There are plenty of people in my classes that are around my age and older.

Now in my case I kind of had to go back to school (my ex left me, I had no job, no education) but I definitely think it's been very worthwhile. There is just something about actually taking courses and working your ass off on assignments and studying that gives you so much more knowledge than just reading on the internet does. Although, I must say, with my poli sci course (101) I pretty much haven't had to read the text at all and I'm acing the course. I have a bunch more 2nd and 3rd year level electives to take and I think I'll take poli sci and I'm certain they will get much harder but it really is surprising how much I knew just from DU.

Go for it! Good luck!
