education tyring to get best of it	simon	05/24/03
Now I understand the difference between a 2 year community college and a 4 year university. BUT will a 4 year Good, Accredited, university take me on? I had left my studies at the age of 16 in the 10th grade. Then only last year I finished high school through correspondence school (High School USA). Now I am 28 and would like to study something in pathology - medicine or biology. What are my chances. What should my plan be to get the best possible education. Will it be possible to go to work in the mornings and study in the evenings? After 4 years what kind of career choices will I have? Do good, creditable, accredited universities take students with my type of educational background? Will it not be embarrassing for a 30 year old to do bachelors with teenagers? Since I have not studied since the last many years, will it be difficult to cope with the fast paced curriculum? Where do I go to learn before hand any pre college university classes in maths or biology? Can this be done online? What universities are best to go to curriculum wise for something in forensic science? Can someone help me understand all of the above so I can make the best possible decision for my future keeping in mind, my financial situation and trying to get the best education possible and then may be a good job somewhere. Thanks
