Is it too late for me to rejoin higher ed?
Hi all! I graduated with my SAHE master's around 2015. During my program I had some mental health issues and I pushed through but it was a struggle. While the rest of my cohort was applying for jobs and interviewing, I was just trying to greet caught up. A few years later I gave up trying to get into the field. Looking back my mental health was still pretty bad and I'm sure that's a large part of why no one I did interview with would take me.
So now it's 2026 and I've done some of the therapy work. I'm by no means healed or a paragon of mental health, but I'm much better than I was and I'd like to try again.
Is there hope? Do you think I am hireable and, if so, how would you recommend preparing to reenter the field? Thanks for your time!
