<p>I am planning on taking online classes in the Spring of 2015 from Penn State. I know a few people who have graduated from Penn State. It is a top notch school and whose name carries a lot of clout throughout the country and the world at large. I'm looking forward to the challenges. My only concern is that due to the fact that I'm an older student (50) that my age will hold me back when looking for work...even though I (will) have a degree from Penn State. Your comments are welcomed. </p>
