Going back to school

As many of my generation Y compatriots will understand, I am two years out of university and still have NO clue what I want to do with my life. So I made a decision today that come fall, I'm going back to school. College this time instead of university, and actually going to gain some applied skills in what I've always wanted to do.

Has anyone else here gone back to school after they've graduated from University? How daunting was it and how hard was it to get back into the school/study groove?

College v. university? Is that a Canadian thing? In the US, colleges and universities are basically the same. Generally colleges only grant undergrad degrees, but we would refer to attending either as "going to college."

The people I've known who have gone back for more education generally love it.

My sister just returned to school after a long absence. She's now in her second semester after making the Dean's List. She said that it was hard to get back into the school mind set, but once she got into a routine she did great. Good Luck!
