I just applied today, so I'm waiting to hear about the credits and how long it will take.
The only thing i'm nervous about is being "rusty" from not being in school for 7 years. But I think I can make up for that since i'm exponentially more mature and will study a lot harder than when I was in undergrad the first time.
ETA: I'll bump this when I hear about time from, but thanks for the encouragement guys.

You should brush up on your math and chemistry. I'm graduating next May in CE, and my bro is a freshman. I can barely answer his questions from his Calc 1 and Chem 1 classes 
But go for it if you want it.

I graduated in PE in December and think it'd be a great idea. We had 13 people graduate with us and everyone is working now and everyone gets paid well. I am making right around 8k a month and that is just while I am in training. School takes a minimum of 4 years and there is no way around it due to prereqs. If you are get in Physics and Calculus you will not have a problem. But, if you struggle in those it will be very difficult no matter how much you study. Good luck and I hope you do it.

Don't worry about being rusty. My industry slowed down and I got an Environmental Science degree at age 48 (first degree - ChE). There was no rust factor and I enjoyed doing it. The maturity/motivation factor more than makes up for any rust.
