People do it all the time.  What better place to learn all the corporate babble?

Back where?

Look at the topic title.

My mom went back for her degree at age 50 and now at age 87 is still working full time as a therapist.  Me I retired and tell her every Sunday to make sure she goes to work on Monday so she can help pay for my Social Security checks

Me wonders: did you graduate from the School Of Hard Knocks?

It is not horrible.  Her work is very important to her.  Some of us are defined by what we do, which is her case.  I am not saying it is a good thing but is not a bad thing if it "works" for you.  She is happy doing what she does and if she were to retire she would be bored in a heart beat.

This sounds like something that has to be resolved on the Algerian end.
