    I am working on a Bachelors now in Advanced Radiological Science. I work almost full time.

    I am looking at finishing at age 27 to maybe 28(doubtful)


    What age do you think is to old to go back/finish a degree and start a career


    I would say it would be hard to start a FIRST career after the age of 40.

    Doing a second career....not as hard.

    It's never too late. But get this one out of the way.

    Get this one out of your checklist as soon as possible so you can enjoy life without the hassles of studies. But age really is not that much of a deal. It all boils down to the individual's attitude and drive. Remember, education is a life-long quest.

    If you can afford it I guess any age will be fine.

    Wanted to add...I will be done my Bachelor of Science - Biological science at the ripe age of 23 however I do plan on going onto further studies. Either a masters in pharmacology or totally different into paramedicine or something like medical radiologic technology. No matter what I it will end up going for 3+ more years on top of my BSc so I guess graduating at 26 isn't so bad. Ugh that is a lot of student loans.

    I finished college when I was 20, but now I am actually flirting with the idea of a taking medical course - one that I have long wanted to do. But then, not this year, or even maybe not even next year just yet. Lots of things to do first.

    When your dead and burried, it's too late. Other than that, the only limit is yourself.

    My grandmother started college at 58 years old, finished in 3 years and taught school for years after that. When she started college she told me 'yes, it will take about 4 years to finish,and by that time I'll be 62,,, but if I don't start now I'll be 62 in 4 years anyway - so why not start now?' Smart lady.
