Hello, I am considering grad school. I had a very untraditional path - I got my associates at 17, then took a year off, did another year while working 50 hours a week with 3 jobs, got into real estate and dropped out, spent the last decade running my own businesses (real estate, development, construction, wedding venue). Got married and divorced. I now have a 7 year old and 2 stepkids. I started back up to finish my degree this quarter and I have been surprised how well I'm doing given I honestly barely attend classes and am certainly more focused on work and family, but I get my assignments in and understand the material fine. I am 2.5 quarters away from graduating. Contemplating grad school, but realistically, I will still need to have an income source and maintain my family life. Is that totally stupid? I actually do enjoy classes, I just realized pretty early on that I didn't actually need to go listen to a lecture to get an A on the test, but i would be planning on attending classes if i went to grad school. I also really fucked off my last quarter 10 years ago and dropped out of all 3 classes, which brought my GPA from like a 3.5 to a 2.8 (hopefully with 3 more decent quarters it will go back up, but I am a little worried about that)
