<p>Absolutely go for it. 31 here and back in school. You will do well as you will have a lot more motivation and will not have as many of the “distractions” as the younger students, even with having a wife and a child. Also, keep the goal of being an engineer in mind. I started out as an EE major after being an electronics tech in the Navy. Shortly after I found that I really didn’t enjoy the subject matter as much as I thought I would and switched to a different engineering major that I really enjoyed. This may not be your case, but keeping the goal of being an engineer in mind over a specific type, I feel, has kept me down the right path. Good luck man.</p>
