Alas, I wrestle with this

Alas, I wrestle with this question, as I am one of those considering going back to school--not because of the recession. In my case, it's not a yearning for school, though I'm sure that I would enjoy it. It's about developing the skills for a fresh start. I imagine that most older students who return to school do so for the following reasons. It costs way too much to do for fun. (I concur with the Nebton that you don't necessarily have to pay for school. My philosophy PhD program was paid for, and I received a small stipend.)

Just to set the record

Just to set the record straight, if you're going back go gradudate school in engineering, almost all schools will pay you to do so. Of course, they won't pay you as much as you were making (unless you've been laid off), but it can be enough to live off of if you're frugal (around $15k).
