Okay, since clearly I don't want to commit right now to a 4-year university and am unsure about going back to school in general, I decided to try another approach: On-line classes.
Many, many years ago, Nick had taken an on-line college course on Theme Park Engineering. This was when he wanted to be an Imagineer for Disney. It was through ed2go.com and I have to tell you, it was a GREAT course. Back in the Spring I had taken a course through them on Romance Writing. It was a 6-week class, 2 lessons a week, very informative. I got a certificate when I was done. Well, I decided to go back and see what what being offered now and going along with my dream of really wanting to get published, I signed up for "Beginner's Guide to Getting Published".
The classes are not free; each one is about $65. Being that this is the area that I am struggling in (getting published) I thought that this could be helpful. Tonight is the first lesson and I am so excited about it! I wish that it gave more than a certificate but at least I am getting INFORMATION and being that I have to take a test on each lesson, I should thoroughly KNOW what I have learned.
I'm a fast reader. I tend to "scan" more than read sometimes and miss out on some important information because of it. By having to take a test, I have to be a little bit more thorough with my studying. So off I go, to read my first lesson and see if I can actually comprehend it.
Wish me luck!

Congratulations! And good luck with the rest of the class. I think you're taking the right step. Study something you like. You may finally decide down the road that you're ready for a more formalized education.
