I'm 39 and I've still got student loans to pay off - I can't afford not to work full time. So no, unless the pay is enough.

Honestly curious, how? Did you stay on Income Based Repayment forever? Get multiple Doctorates while deferring payments? Refinanced multiple times? Most US loans have 10-15 year payment plans so something unusual happened in your case.

I went back to school recently to pursue a programming degree, after being laid off. I wasn't the oldest person there, either, so my situation doesn't seem to be that uncommon.
