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?
Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.
