Unfortunate. I haven't seen a public school in many a decade now. I evacuated early.

I chose, probably unwisely, at the age of 18, to go to work building aircraft. It paid handsomely up until October 2001. after that, its been downhill ever since. And at age 48, I am just not interested, or even the slightest bit enthused about going back to school.
Same here. Once, in my 30's, I thought about it, but then decided against it. For me, at 18, it would have been truck driving. I came close enough to "Ernies School Of Driving" to scare my mom. But even as a youth I was wise beyond my years. Back in the late-70's, someone could have talked me into being an aircraft mechanic...its what dad did.

And as far as that goes, I have a female friend who, like you, has three degrees. One of them the much vaunted (BWAHAHA!) MBA. She has been out of work longer than I have. So whats the point?
Prepare for uncertainty. Death, taxes, uncertainty.
