I wish I could do that full time.
I took some time to take a class for a career change and I LOVED IT, i was shocked how much I enjoyed it, but don't have the time / resources to go all in at this time.
I completely echo your sentiment about taking classes at a mature age being completely different. I was not a good young student but I found myself excited EVERY DAY for class when I was going. It was so much fun. There were a few of us older students and we were always excited with a handful of younger students.... the rest of the students looked like they were greatly inconvenienced by going to class (admittedly I probabbly did too at that age).
The difference taking classes now vs then is night and day for me.
There was a core group of us who worked together a lot showing up early / staying to help each other, and it was about 30% older and 70% younger and it was a great experience.
