I remember a letter in the paper years ago to Dear Abby or Anne Landers (I 
foget which).  The writer, in her 50s or 60s was contemplating going back to 
school for a degree she always wanted but wasn't sure if she should bother at 
her age and the fact that it would take fours years to get.

The response was along the lines that in four years she could either be four 
years older with the degree or four years older without it; which would she 
prefer?

I say: go for it.
