I mean why not? Never too old for knowledge, plus the average college age is older than you'd expect

If you're just doing it to study you might explore auditing classes - it's where you attend the classes and get the education, but you don't get any credits for it. Significantly cheaper than taking them.

Otherwise if you need a degree it seems like a good time to go and get one. I'm a little past 30 myself and I just started my first real term a couple months ago.

Do you already have a stable career?

I work 2 jobs. I dont hate either but i dont love either. As for whats stopping me. Nothing really. I dont really mind the age thing since apparently i look like im 21 even though im 37.

It is a great place to meet women. Take a psychology or yoga class.

I already do yoga and took psych 101 20 years ago. My main purpose is not to meet girls. Although if it happens i wouldnt complain.

I don't recommend working 2 jobs and going to school all at the same time, but if you don't mind spending the money and are already stable it could be a good idea.

It's much harder for a college grad pushing 40 to get hired anywhere. They'd rather have a desperate 23-year-old who will put up with bs.

Sure, I'm over 30 and would go back but it would have to be online and part time, I couldn't go back to full time education.

Both in undergrad and grad school I've had classmates who were 30+ (and some significantly older). It is never too late.

Absolutely not. The humanities have never been more essential than they are now, and job prospects are a lot better than the memes would assert (aside from covid atm).

They dont have to know when i got my degree. Thinking about an advanced degree in history.

Some senior level positions sometimes require higher ed credits like a masters degree. Depends on what career you're trying to get into.
