I agree, Red Rock. I KNOW that many people go through this. It's good to hear everyone's stories. I hope they keep coming.

Best of luck to you, Trek. It will work because you really, really want to do it :-)

As for me, I'm not spilling much at this point because I am just really thinking about options. As I've read all of these replies, I find myself leaning toward a non-college option. I'm just not sure I have going back to college in me.

Thanks to everyone who is contributing to the discussion. This is good stuff!
