I applied to school today

jsimms615 · May 1, 2011

I'm two months shy of my 44 birthday and I applied for a Masters in Professional counseling school today. I don't know if I have completely lost my mind or not, but this is scary stuff to me. I think I could probably do it in about 2 years or less. I want to get licensed as a professional counselor.

I already have a Masters in religious education, so I am hoping that some of my classes will transfer.

Congratulations, JSimms, what a fantastic step you're taking! May God bless you abundantly in your education and plans for the future!

God bless your endeavor.

How wonderful! I think you'll enjoy it! I just finished my degree. It took a little longer than expected, but was a serious blessing. Praying ALL the best for you!!!

Congrats! I know that feeling, wondering if I'm out of my mind. I'm 43. I returned to school 4 years ago to earn a bachelor's in social and behavioral sciences. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with 89 credits under my belt. I'm so happy that I've persevered. I know you will be too. Good luck!

I just graduated with my MSW last year. 46. Perhaps you've graduated by now, too?

Yes it's annoying to share classes with students old enough to be your kids

and awkward to be either 1) the same age/generation as your professor(s), or 2) have professors/supervisors young enough to be your kids....but you adjust.

N.B.: I was NOT the oldest in my class! There were several students older than me!

Go for it. You can do it.

wow, just noticed this really old thread. Just to update. I have my license now and a new job. Graduated in about 2.5 years

Very awesome! I completed that same degree, Master's in mental health counseling, in 2010 and am currently finishing up on my licensure hours. I did it all part-time so it took me a lot longer than 2 years. I'm hoping to find full-time employment in the field next year once I receive my state license. Good luck!

Good for you!! I am working towards my Bachelor's and maybe will go on to a Master's in Early Childhood Education. Wish I had a younger brain some days though!!!
