Dear Queenie,
After I lost my job because the people I worked for moved somewhere else, I went back to school to try to get my degree. I’m a lot older than the other students and I just don’t get along with them. We don’t quarrel or anything, we just don’t have anything in common.
Queenie, should I quit school and try to find another job or stick with it in spite of these kids?—Undecided
Dear Undecided,
You are more mature and have more experience than the other students, so of course you have a different outlook on life. Do not try to socialise with them, just stick to getting an education and your degree, because that will give you many more career opportunities than you would have if you quit school now.
Meanwhile, if you have the time, you may be able to find a social life by volunteering with a community organisation.
