I'm 34, and I wanna go to back to school but I just don't know where to go. I'm lost and I need guidance...

If computers are what you want to pursue, then I suggest you talk to advisors in various post-secondary institutions in your locality. By now, you should be considered a "mature" student and could qualify for entrance to programs with much less requirements than say a student entering straight out of highschool. This all depends on whether you have any previous education in a college or university setting or if you have an adequate amount of life/work experience. 34 is not too old, but you have to know exactly what you want because you don't want it to be a waste of time and money. I suggest talking to some college admissions advisors as well as career counsellors to help you pinpoint exactly what it is you're looking for. At 34, you should have the maturity and focus to complete a degree. I have a friend who decided to go back to school and is currently 35 years old and in med school and is loving it. Anything is possible, just do it.
