text: I'm 37, and I just started my second semester in a 2 year college. I haven't regretted my decision for a second. You need to be prepare for the financial aspects, but the social ones are no problem. The only drawback with psychiatrist is that I think you usually need a PHD or at least a Master, so be prepared for 6-8 years of school. If you have the drive for that many years, GO FOR IT!!!
