Is it too old to go back to college?

decentlyfair@reddit

I didn’t start education until I was 33, A levels, teaching qualifications and subject specialism. Top up credits for my degree in my 50s and just about to start my dissertation for my masters aged 61. So to answer your question, no you are definitely not too old.

I went back at 43 and became a teacher. Never regretted it.

I had to swallow my pride and be a beginner again, but that's minor.

Its never to late and you are never to old even if somthing is going to take 2/3 years you will 2/3 years older in that time anyway.

I went back to college at 30, got a Bachelor's and masters in medical sciences. 100% worth it.

I meant the americanised college (uni). I went to college and got my access to HE diploma about a decade ago that allowed me to go to uni. Trust me, its the best decision youll make if you're serious about it.

No. I'm exploring the possibility of upskilling myself if my health worsens so I can stay connected to the area of work I'm presently in. I've had an apprentice your age. Fun fact half of adult apprentices are over 25

I did an apprenticeship for a whole new career change when I was 30! Being made redundant from that role and just got myself another apprenticeship in another career change at the age of 37.

I'll definitely be the oldest one in the classroom but hopefully this time I can finish off my working career with this new position
