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?
It’s difficult to overstate the importance of education. I went back to school at 32 with very little formal education. It was tough but having graduated after ten years I never regretted it. I’m doing a job that I love and have more employment options. Whether or not you go back depends on many factors, especially if it is a serious investment in time and money. I didn’t like my work and that was what motivated me but I had savings and no debt or responsibilities.
