Is 34 too old for my sister to start school?

[Anonymous]

My sister currently wants to start school after so many years. she a domestic violence surviver, got married at 19 she is now 34 divorced for 2... got depressed, couldn't leave the house.
She's now healing and wants wants to do something with her life get a job and a normal life... is 34 too old to start school because she feels discouraged

[Nik1hil]

Not at all old..

32 is quite young..

I have seen 40 yr old people switch careers go to school and learn and be on track in 2 years..
I come from field of crypto currency this field didn't existed before 2016..
any one above age of 40 in this field went back to school to learn programming and stuff after age of 40 and joined this field in last 5 years..
Tell her it's never late..
It will be hard but she can do it..
I am up for a Google meet if she needs encouragement or talking to a college student will help

[Nik1hil]

@wowzao23 umm... Who are you? Do i know you

[OlderAndWiser]

Not too old at all. Many people have one career decide to make a change, and return to school when they are older. She wll not be alone. When I started law school, the average age of my class was 31; about half of the class was 21-23, and the other half was between 30 and 60 years old.

[Apulu_3]

Nope it's a great age. My parents want to start school too after me and my sister grow up and become independent. My mom will be around 48 years and my dad will be 54 years by then. So yeah if they don't feel discouraged then your sister shouldn't too as it is the perfect time actually. The Chairman of the school I studied in also started the school when he was 47 years.

[Still-alive]

Interesting is your sister older or younger than you?

[Apulu_3]

@Still-alive Younger. She is of 11 years.

[Flower7]

I’m really glad she’s having the chance for a fresh start. It sounds like she’s getting a lot healthier, mentally. 34 is older than normal, of course, but it’s not too bad of an age to start school.

[DarkWinterNights]

It’s never too late to go back to school. I’m 31 with no current plans. I have a solid career now but I will probably feel like shifting gears over the next several years and go back to school in my mid-30’s. Im sure there are a lot of people in the same boat. As a bonus it may also help her meet new friends, just make sure she watches out for predatory student loans.

[magiusX26]

nope. its rare but you do occassionally have 40 plus year olds go to college and get a degree. back near the turn of the mellinium there was a media report of a woman about 60 to 80 (can't recall which) who started taking college for very 1st time. as well you have some people with a degree go back much later for a higher degree or one in a new area.

[Sarah6h8888666]

People go back to school ALL of the time no matter there age. I can't tell you how many people I know went back for their MD or PhD in their 30's 40's 50's 60's. Its very normal, especially in higher education.

[Pyrofox]

If she wants to get a degree that means she can't afford to slack off. She has to hit the ground running. And it probably means she will have to be a part time student and part time employed. As college ain't cheap no more.

[Fireguy17]

no not at all.
My Aunt had a friend that was in her 60's and she went to school to learn about things that she was interested in.
It is never too late.

[AviatorTom]

You're never too old to increase your knowledge through education. When I was in college (my early 20s), there was a 40-something guy (retired from the military) in the same engineering program I was in; we graduated together.

[Jessica405]

No, it is never too late. Never stop learning, either. Once you have that certificate or diploma, no 9ne can take then away. All good for improving your job prospects!

[slatyb]

Not at all. In six years she'll be 40. She can be 40 with school completed, or without.

[Asker]

Best explanation she's ever has, she said thanks u

[slatyb]

People do to school at all ages from 14 to 64 or beyond.

[exitseven]

No. I teach at a college and I have had plenty of students over 40. 34 is definitely not too old to go back to school. She should be encouraged to do this.

[Anonymous]

Studying has no age. Anyone can enroll in school and study at any age. But finding a job is a difficult process. Unfortunately, most employers especially prefer young workers. But I appreciate your elder sister's effort. A very good choice.

[horatiohornblower]

No, after graduating. She could easily have a thirty year career.

[pleasestopthis]

Of course not, a lot of people study during their 40s or 50s because they didn't get the chance before. As long as she has the interest and motivation to do it I'm sure she can do well

[skyeee_]

there's no age requirement to learning. much love and support for your sister, i hope she recovers from all this pain she's endured <3

[Asker]

This coming from a 13yr old, l just wanna say your amazing thanks you for your contributions towards this

[skyeee_]

thanks for the kind words and anytime!

[Dchrls78104]

An attorney in my country died aged 68 a few years ago. He had started his career in law at the age of around 60.

[TsAubreyKate]

If your still breathing It’s never to late

[Asker]

Oh thanxs for the post, so inspiring

[Anonymous]

I worked as a counselor where my boss started college at 40 before she got her doctorate and opened her own practice. So no, I'd say 34 is not too old.

[awkward_author]

Not at all. There's people in their 40's and 50's at my University.

[NamerOfStars]

Not if she's still alive. Stop learning, start dying.

[Citizenkirk]

There is no cutoff age for education. Tell her to hit them books hard

[Avicenna]

Not at all. Nursing is a well-paying career that she can enjoy until she's old.

[Massageman]

It's NEVER too late to learn. I started formal Massage Therapy training at 43! Been at it nearly 30 years.

[TacosRAwesome]

Not too old. I had a few people in their 30s while in uni and I'm pretty sure my sister has a. 70 year old in her law classes.

[JohnK123]

She’s 34
she would have to be in college and that’s assuming she got good grades in high school in order to be accepted into a top or at least well known college

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

You are never too old to start school and age 34 is still a great age

[FinalFantasyBro]

No, you should be happy that your sister wants to go back and find a much better career!

[Shy_Steve]

It's obviously pretty late to start school but if she wants to do it there is no law against it I don't think.

[OddBeMe]

My mother went back to school at that age and it was tough, but her confidence and salary went through the roof.

[Naughtyboy71]

I think it awesome great start of getting back out being
independent again really admire her wish her luck and
much happiness

[Anonymous]

This life has no restraints but the ones we put on ourselves. Live it.

[Wise4myage]

No, lots of people start school her age and even older.

[hi8sm3]

we can study at any age. But it is hard to find a job at any age

[sunflower00]

Nope she’s not too old at all!!

[Lyndsielee666]

Never too old to go back to school.

[2legit2lye]

No never to late to start over

[jshm2]

Until you die, everyday is a school day.

[CourtneyHead_]

No! You're never too old to get your education.

[loveslongnails]

Trade school of some kind? No, she's not too old.

[Neilbud]

Nah... I've seen much older individuals in school.

[Twalli]

It's never too old if you're willing to learn.

[Preeti161101]

If she wants to get education so no age limit

[noohair]

Never to old to make a better life.

[AnthonyJ01]

Defiantly not to old to try to better yourself.

[jjj101010]

Nope. Never too old to learn

[Hotboy_booblover]

No age is too old for anything

[TrueConfection]
