you know my mother tells me that as well...that she wishes she could be in school........i think you guys that say that have been at your job for sometime and are tired of it,,...thus a change in going to school would be in your eyes "fun"......don't get me wrong but i think most of us that don't like school is not because of the learning aspect but because we have "school" on your minds 24/7...when i am out deer hunting or scouting or turkey hunting or bass fishing...in the backs of our minds we know there is a test coming up, project due, paper due or speech we need to give which in a way doesn't allow us to fully appreciate our "free time" on weekends or weedays....
while most persons who have a full time job don't take there work home with them, and don't have those types of thought lingering in the back of their minds while they are trying to enjoy a nice morning in the tree stand and a crisp day watching a monster buck walk your way....
with that said..if anyone out there wants to trade my schooling for your job...please pm me....lol

Nope that's not it at all.
If you think having school on your mind 24/7 is tough....wait till LIFE catches up to you. As we get older and have families, life gets more and more complicated. So many decisions need to be made regarding so many things from bills, to savings, to kids educations, to concerns about their health and safety, Raising them to be good,productive and honest people,your own health and safety, your parents health and safety, keeping jobs, findingand making time for your family (most important). The list goes on and on, I haven't even scratched the surface of the load of responsibility we incure as we get older.
There is a never ending list of repairs that are needed,vehicles breakdown, houses need to be kept up, your parents houses need to be kept up. As they age they will need you more and more.........Then the loss of family and loved ones who leave us way too soon and the reality of our own mortality...........
Oh yes, trust me when I say there WILL come a time when you wish you were back in school and didn't have a care in the world. As life moves on for you as itdoes for all of us, you will see just how UN-complicated and carefree your life is now. Enjoy it, you're only young once.
