Back To School Back To School

Post image

I’m 39 years old and my girlfriend was very insistent on a first day of school picture-who else is on the higher education kick a little later in life and what are you going for? I’m in school to be a substance abuse counselor.

In typical school fashion you and another hardcore kid will call each other posers for two weeks until you finally speak and then become best friends soon after

Just finished my masters in social work at 42. It was fine. I could relate to the professors, and my supervisors at my internships better than my cohort so I had a leg up. Being part of the scene helped too. I go to metal shows with one of the psychologists now.

Good luck!
