I'm 29 now and e-mailed the Uni yesterday. I got a reply giving all the info and telling me what to send them back. I'm a high school drop out since my childhood was full of severe depression and a very abusive alcoholic in my family making it impossible to study. However, I've grown up now and matured a lot. I work as a manager at a retail store but with 30 looming closer and closer I realized I want a better job. It pays ok but the hours suck, the work is hard, and the days are long. I can't still be here when I hit 40.
I decided to do a Diploma of Business and then a Bachelor degree of Business afterwards. Both online through their website. I wanted to do the diploma first since it eases you into the degree and I don't want to overwhelm myself.
I'm fucking terrified though. After over 10 years of not studying I now have to do an online test to show I can join the Uni. I have NO idea what to expect. It's an English and Maths test and while I think I'll do fine in English the Maths from my high school years I have forgotten. At my job and in my personal life I use Maths all the time but I use a calculator for a lot of it and much of it is working our roster hours, inventory stocks, and other things like that.. If they give me hard mathematical equations I might freeze like a deer in headlights or simply forget how to work it out without someone helping refresh me and failing an entry test would be the worst possible outcome I could imagine.
How anyone gone back to study after so many years? How did you find it? I feel completely out of my depth but I really want to improve myself and my life.
