I have a very good job working 7:00-3:30 Monday through Friday. Is it practical for me to go to school at night and get my business degree? I'm not even sure what I will do with it, but I'm thinking since my company will pay for it I should do it. What do u guys think?

Never hurts to advance your education especially on someone elses dime.

Do it.

That's what I'm thinking.. I guess I'm just scared because I am 32 years old and the idea of college is a bit overwhelming.

so i don't know if you can deal with that or not

What line of work are you in? When you say business degree are you talking about an MBA or your bachelors?

you can do evenings, or you could try online courses.
the latter work for self-motivated and self-disciplined students who can manage a schedule (and usually, adult working students can do this).

If you don't have to pay for it do it!

Don't sweat it. I'm 34 and am working on my Masters at night. You'll find that you're a much better student now than you ever were when you were younger.
It's not easy. Real life gets in the way sometimes, but I find it fulfilling.

I work in the oil/gas industry. Shell to be specific

Well if it were as simple as picking I would want my MBA; however, I'm thinking my first goal will be my bachelors.

If you have the money and time, why not?

Don't see how it would hurt to get a free education.

My favorite part about it is having 5 tests in a 3 day span

I am going to business school at night and work full time. It definitely added stress to my life but not a huge amount. It's a great experience to break out of your intellectual norms,learn new things, and meet new people.
I'm paying out of pocket for the privilege which accounts for a lot of the added stress. If your company is paying for it, do it. Don't do it online either, go to a brick and mortar school. You will thank yourself later.
