It's already been said, but let me, too, encourage you to go back to school and start accumulating your basic classes. The community college system is California is, of course, top notch. Get all your general ed courses out of the way, like math, lab science (I recommend chemistry if you are going to do something costume/textiles related), sociology, psychology, history (Modern European is probably good if you have an interest in costume history), and economics. Sounds like you may already have your English requirements satisfied. That introduction to theater is a good suggestion, too. I didn't get my dream job until I turned 50. Got the degrees, but then knocked around for awhile. Where I am now, I was a volunteer for two years, then part-time, non-career, no benefits, for five years, but finally have a full time professional position with great benefits and I love the work! Best of luck to you. Ann Wass
