I guess it all depends on what you will be going back to school for. I went back to school for my masters after being out of school for 8 years. Let me tell you...things have changed. I found it easier since a lot was now done online vs. copying things from a blackboard or even worse (for me) taking notes from a virbal lecture.
I did my masters in a science based field. I requested the professor email me all his powerpoint presentations before the class. This way i could review the information and had to take less notes.
I was always the one to ALWAYS initiate a study group. It is easier to verbaly study and talk problems through then reading thoughts from a book and trying to be a sponge.
You can do it!! Don't shy away from something you deserve - an education.
