I cannot fully tell you all how much your comments have emboldened me. Sometimes one needs to hear from those who are in similar situations, or know of others who are, to know that all will be well!

Thanks Grunty! You're absolutely correct about the transition between the business world and grad school. It will be an adjustment for sure. And I agree with taking as few classes as possible to start, as well. Thanks everybody! I am feeling better about this, and am so excited to begin!

Thanks for the responses! I am definitely a contributing type. I came out of 28 years in the business world, 15 in management. Teamwork and interdependancy are not only expected, but absolutely necessary for success. I am excited about starting over in life. I am an extremely youthful 51, most people assume I'm in my late 30's. So I know the energy and stamina, as of now at least, won't be an issue. I took a couple of undergrad Creative writing classes last semester, and did really well. Hopefully this will translate into more success, next September. I have a pretty thick skin, and I hear with writing workshops, it will be needed. ha

I am 51 years old, and have finally decided to go to Grad School. I have been accepted into a Masters program for Creative Writing. My question is, has anyone began this late in life? If so, did you find your Professors treating you as if you are a waste of time? I don't want to waste time or money, if it is going to be hell on earth. Thanks! Patlynn
