I know this isn't *exactly* what you're saying ,but I'm reminded of a friend who was contemplating going back to school to get a degree to teach. He was wavering, because he was 38 at the time, and he kept saying, "I'll be 41 when I graduate!" (He was working full-time) He finally made the leap when a friend said, "In three years, you'll be 41 no matter what. Either you can be 41 in exactly the same place you're in now, or you can be 41 with an education degree." I've thought of that conversation again and again.
