I am 48 yrs old in my first semester and taking it slow to be sure I absorb and understand everything I'm learning. Back in 2000, I worked 1yr. in a small, local Humane Society in Delaware, OH which is the only work experience I have with animals outside of caring for my own furry family. I am concerned that my employment prospects after graduation will be limited due to my age. I have recently applied to several facilities for an entry level position just to get " my foot in the door". I never even made it to the interview stage before the positions were filled. This is the career I want to do but am having some bouts of doubt lately thinking it probably won't happen and I'm just fooling myself. Just wondering if any older students are feeling anything similar?
