It took me until I was in my mid-40's to figure what I really wanted out of life and then almost a decade to make it happen. I got my B.S in business when I was 51 and started a 5 year PsyD (doctorate in clinical psychology) the same year. I have loved every second of it. I don't care that most people in my classes have been 20 years younger. What I care about is that I am alive and doing something I really love. IMO the fact that I love it makes me better able to serve the needs of people who come to see me. So, everyone wins. Both mentally and physically I feel better than I did 30 years ago and hope to practice for the rest of my life, however long that may be.
