Talking I am a STUDENT again!!

Hello all,
I finally am getting to go to college. At 34, everyone else looks so young! I had one young man call me Sir today. I told him do not call me Sir, I work for a living. He looked puzzled, like he had never heard that before.

Anyways, I am in need of a big desk. I will have to use my garage as a study and need a desk big enough to hold a computer, printer and still be able to spread a book and notebook out on.

So pleeeeeease let me know if you have anything.

Thanks
Jason

Jason,
Congrats, its never too late. I also started college late in life. When I went and took my SAT's I was older than the people administering the tests. I started at 28 with 2 kids and a mortgage. It took me extra time, I managed to cram my 4 year degree into 7 1/2 years but it was well worth it.
Those were 7 long years of living on beans and rice, working three jobs, and living poor but now I'm fat and happy.

In the end I ended up with a Bachelor's Degree in Geology and a Bachelor's Degree in Basic Sciences from New Mexico Tech down in Socorro.

If being a student only paid better I'd go back to school in a heartbeat. Good luck to you.
Bobby
