OK here goes, I turned 30 in august of this year and I want to go back and finish college to further my career. I would like to return either by spring 2013 or fall 2013. What I want to know is what would be a good way to prepare myself for it. I've been checking out college prep books etc... cause I haven't picked up a text book since my early 20s. Any advice would be nice, thanks.

Hey! I would figure out what you want to major in and once you've found that out then go to the college website you wish to attend and find out what the general requirements for the program are and for example if you have to go high in math you could always then go to the library and work on building your math skills.
Math is a big thing in school. Maybe prep for math and take some practice tests to build up your understanding of the current material that is being teached in colleges. But you are definitely on the right track!! Be prepared to do a lot of reading and always make time for yourself in college! Time and stress management is very useful in college. Good luck! You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to.
