A friend of the family went to law school at 50. He said he was going to be 53 no matter what, might as well be a lawyer when he reached it.

I have an uncle who went back to school in his 30's and he became a freakin Doctor in his 40's. I'm in my mid 30's and just barely started going to school, the sky is the limit.

I'm 67-years-old and am a student at my local community college. My major is Mathematics. In the State of Texas, senior citizens can attend any state supported for free, space available.

You are never too late or too old to go back to school. I went back to college at 42. Transferred what credits in that they would take and 5 years later after working full time and going to school 1/2 to 3/4 time I achieved my bachelor's. It was painful, difficult, and challenged my tenacity and sanity; but I stuck to it. Even when my, so called, friends suggested that I just "quit" when it got the toughest. Forging ahead to graduation forever changed my life and my earning potential. Twenty years later, I do not regret a thing. In hind site, the price was more than worth it, financially and figuratively. I also realized that my "friends" were intimidated /jealous that I had a plan in life and was going to achieve something that they hadn't or did not have the courage to try to achieve. Never stop dreaming.

Coming from a 22 year old college student, we really don't care or judge others by their age. We're all there to learn and further ourselves in our careers. I actually enjoy seeing older people and talking to them as classmates

I’m 26 and preparing to go back to school now . Needed this ! Thank you :)

I went back to school at age 43. It's paid off very, very handsomely in the eight years since.

It’s never too late to do anything that you’ve always wanted to do. You just have to want it bad enough. Let’s make 2020 our year guys👍🏻

You are never too old to learn something new.

I'm also 38 and about to go to back to school. I'm honestly very anxious about it but reading the comment section really encourages me and helps ease my tension. It's nice knowing there are others out there who just wanted to start something new in their life regardless of their age. I hope you all succeed and live happy lives. Wish me luck!

I am 34, currently working full time and decided to finish my BA in accounting. I graduated with my AA back in 2005. It is tough, specifically with kids but I have a super supportive husband.💗YOU can do this!!

[karliryan]

I felt I was too old to start college. I am 27, but I will not give up on my dreams no matter what negative things people have to say . Good luck to everyone!

A single mom who raised two children and finally had a chance to realize my dream of a Masters Degree. I graduated with MSMIS (IT) Degree at the age of 59. Many scholarships are available for women returning to school, especially IT Careers. Both of my daughters are now in graduate school. Lead by example parenting. Lifelong learners rock!!

[sabrinatheceo]

I'm 42 and considering going back to school to change my career. This has given me motivation. Kudos to everyone it's never to late. Blessings!

[q.t.gamingfamily]

I don't think so. I'm 49 and I just signed up to go back again. I love college.

Never too late to learn.
My dad got his law degree after retirement and that was just to keep him busy and not practice. Now he teaches few local poor law students for free to help them out. He is 70.
I am 37 and currently enrolled in online classes to become data scientist. I have already done mba 10 years ago and doing just fine job wise. The idea is to keep on learning that can ensure you are staying relevant in your field and help you grow both intellectually and professionally.
