don’t give me the it’s never too late bs. Life happens, people have jobs, debts and rent to pay.

Going back to school when you’re employed means debt, earning way less or nothing during your bachelor or master, stress, opportunities you’re not aware of because you’re simply not at your workplace anymore, unpaid overtime during those 2 to 3 years… the money you lose is more than what the bachelor / accreditation costs.

When does it start being a stupid idea? Is it when you’re 30? 40? 50?

    Your good until your in a pine box or an urn.

    Learning should never stop for any reason. However you do have to temper your expectations when learning a trade or skill you can’t use due to personal limitations. This needs to be taken into account but that is something an individual should weigh on their own with the people in their life.
