I didn't have much ambition either and I preferred the social aspects of college over the academics. I chose a weird major, East Asian Studies, and did well in it since I am good at languages. But in the '80's, there was a trend towards believing that Liberal Arts was the way to develop a well rounded person. I quickly learned that meant "graduate student in training". The last thing I wanted to do was go for more school at 21. Things have become so much more specialized since then. It's interesting now that I have a kid who's looking at colleges. I envy your desire to go back and hope that your past doesn't affect your drive. I definitely think that statute has come and gone. Most schools wil recognize that people have matured when they go back as adults. I didn’t have student loans either.
