I went back 8 years ago for 2 years and switched careers..You're never too old to learn...and it can mean the difference between doing a job you hate or having a career you love....wave wink thumbs up

Fourteen years ago at the age of thirty, I attended 4 C's in West Barnstable MA. One of my classmates was 80 years old. According to him, you are never too old. applause

I was 40 when I've got my second career. Two years in a college.
Btw we had quite a few students with ranging age between 50 and 60 ... So ... Why not. Just don't take student loan but again, in Canada you can pay it back like forever

Go for it thumbs up
