Hi all, I am 32 years old and have been back to school for a year now. I am working on my second degree in Math. It will take me 2 more years at a small state school in NJ that is costing me about $12,000 a year. Prior to school I owned and operated my own general contracting business.
My dilema is this - does anyone have an opion on whether or not switching to an expensive university, (Drexel $40,000 a year) to study Civil Engineering over staying at a cheap state college and receiving a BS in Math is a smart decesion.
I love studying Math and Physics and could see myself really enjoying applying it as an engineer. Not sure if the cost is worth it. Also not sure what I would do with my Math degree. I have a little credit problem that would probably rule out finance industry. Also drexel has a great Co-Op program that allows you to mix in three semesters of work while studying.
Any advice or experiences would be welcomed.
