    Hi Sandra:

    I went back to school to get certified to teach art at the age of 37. I have
    never found that my age was a barrier, and am VERY glad that I decided to go
    back. I had a bachelor's degree in studio art and art history. So I got my
    Master's in Art Ed. Since then, I have taught at the University, local art
    museum, took an administrative position with the museum for two years, and
    most recently (one year ago) accepted a full time job implementing a pilot
    arts integration program at a local school. I'll be 40 in October and love
    my job. Don't be discouraged, don't give up and most of all, think of your
    age as one of your greatest assets...it was my age and experience that got me
    the last job!
