Drexel being one of the 2. My only saving grace is I'd be able to test out of maybe half of my core classes and maybe even my thesis since I've worked in the field under the direct supervision of a principal architect. That alone goes along way. cause in bigger companies they might have 40 licenced architects but they know jack on running the business end of things cept what they learned in school. as for paying for tuition. Not gonna happen.

can you afford to quit and go full time? probably a 2-3 year program that way, maybe less if you really load up. student loans may help, plus don't you have a lot of equity in your home from the work you've put in it? how much do you like your job vs. how much do you want to be an architect?

so say you'd need to get your hands on enough money (did you say you already had a 2nd mortgage? any more equity in the home/savings?) to replace 3 years worth of salary, and school would cost the equivalent of another 2 years salary. you'd need an amount equal to 5 times your current salary. When you're done, you make 3 times your current salary. even with interest and whatnot, you work 3 years and you're even again

Don't do it. If you flunk out when you're a kid, then your just lazy. If you flunk out now you are a failure to everyone that knows you.

ahha, I see what you're getting at and yeah, I already have a 2nd mortgage. from the addition. I have more equity in the house, probly enough to carry me for close to 3 years, but I don't want to tap out my house. hell I could graduate then fail the board exam 5 times in a row. what would I do then?

True.

1) you are never to old to go back to school.
2) if the wife brought this up, that means she will help you all she can.
3) you should do it

Shenanigans Wrote:Funny you should say that.

I wanted to be an architect since I was....damn...13 years old? I was set up real pretty to become one untill my first marriage fell apart and I went insane. Then I drank alot. Met the current Mrs bill and started raising kids.....I guess I've been just settling for working in a related field for about 8 years now. Now that Mrs Bill is backing me I kinda want to go for it. but shit I'm about to turn 31. I'm not kid anymore.
With that said bill 31 years old is nothing. Your not a kid, but your not an old man either. You should try an accomplish a dream that you have. It would be that much better once you accomplish that dream and bringing in the big bucks that architects make. I know it sounds gay but reach for the stars when they are in the grasp for you to reach.
