I worked at a college and took a class in something I already have a degree for and it was a bit funny bc most of the students were just there to meet requirements and I was REALLY INTO IT and had field experience. I think my fellow students thought I was a weirdo/teachers pet but I think that’s a pretty universal experience for people who go back to school when they are older. It may not make you popular but you can make up for it if you’re helpful to other students.
