Think about it this way…for personal reasons, okay?

"According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 80 percent of adult learners who go back to school graduate with a degree, compared to 50 percent of those students who attend college right after high school. As a nontraditional student, you’re less likely to become distracted by the social scene at your school. You’ve made sacrifices to go back, so you’re less likely to try and skate by with just-passing grades. And you’re more aware of the contacts you’ll need once you graduate, so your networking is more targeted. If you are concerned about community, climate change, or other social issues, you can return to school to learn how to become a community activist or an urban planner. You can learn about new urban living arrangements that are environmentally sound, and participate in activities such as this one for saving adult education. You’ll learn that there are a multitude of subjects available on environmental issues, too, including some that could lead into a career in agriculture or forestry." "You may simply want to take advantage of tax benefits for adult learners. You could qualify for US income tax credits and/or tax deductions including up to $4,000 depending on income. You can contribute to health and social capital outcomes by becoming an adult student. The findings for this report suggests that adult learning has effects on a wide range of outcomes and plays an important role in contributing to the small shifts in attitudes and behaviors that take place during mid adulthood." “As for you and your health, it is now known that the human brain ben­e­fits from envi­ron­ments rich in novel and com­plex stim­uli, and that by actively par­tic­i­pat­ing in soci­ety and tak­ing on per­son­ally rel­e­vant roles, peo­ple find mean­ing and pur­pose, which gives them a rea­son to get up in the morn­ing and pur­sue new challenges. So, go back to school and get some meaning in your life.” - http://adulteducationclasses.org/2012/top-15-reasons-adults-go-back-to-school/
