Thank you so much for your inspiring post! I studied Physical/Forensic Anthropology while in school and considered a degree in that or Genetics/Heredity before I had to withdraw :(

Going to school while also working and supporting myself seems overwhelming, since I would need to be going at least half time to get any assistance to pay for it. Do you have any recommendations for balancing the two, or how this impacted you financially?

Thanks for the advice. For my particular situation, this isn't an option, unless I want to spend another few years in the type of job I just left - an office world.

I think that, instead of going back to school, I'm going to work for myself on the freelancing you were talking about - the ability to work on what I want when it works for me. By working across three or four niches I think I can make it work.

Thank you for inspiring people to shake it up, whether its going to school to get/finish your degree or finally change jobs...take your life into YOUR hands!
