In response to: I'm 42 and wonder if I should choose another career and go back to school, am I too old?



I went back at 37 to get an AA degree.
Then again at 40 to transform it into a BA.
Then again at 42 to add a second major concentration.
Then again at 43 to add a 3rd major concentration.
Then again at 45 to get a French BTS business degree and do French language studies.

I don't think it's ever too late until alzheimer's sets in.
Then it's too late.

I believe it's never too late to study, but it depends on why you're doing it, what you're going for, what you hope to get out of it and whether you can afford it.

You are never to old to learn something new.....

The mature student adds to the class with their wealth of experience of life and more mature views...

So true. The Admin for my course study of Criminal Justice was excited to have me join the program as a student. He wanted my input on the subjects and add my flair for it.

So, no, you are never to old to go back to college, and I am 37, btw.
