Is it too late?

[Jen001]

I decided to go back to college to finish my Bachelors degree but I'm 37. I'm trying to go back for physical therapy so right now I am doing pre physical therapy. I know it's going to take me a long time and I'll probably be in my mid 40s by the time it's all said and done. I'm a little worried about getting any kind of experience in when I do get my Bachelors. I know it's non existent to even find a job in the field with just a Bachelors.

Would I be correct in thinking that you're not married with any family?

[Jen001]

You are correct lol

How lucky and lovely it must be to have all this free time and not a care in the world!

Do you actually have any ambitions at all to achieve something in life?

[Jen001]

Not exactly sure what you mean by this. I do have ambition. I am mostly concerned it is too late for me and I won't be able to do it. I dont have a lot of free time. I work full-time and thats what is making me nervous.

Ambition = A Goal or a definite Target... What exactly do you wish to be in life?

[Jen001]

Well as I said my goal is to get my Bachelors because I never really got to finish due to financial hardship back then. But my overall goal or ambition is to be able to help people. I have a love for fitness so that is why I chose physical therapy. My mom passed away 2 years ago but she had a prosthetic leg. I want to be able to help people be mobile again. Whether they face some sort of sports related injury

Well I wish you good luck for everything in the future... Hope all your dreams come true.

Thank you for the A1 BC.

No, it's not. Also, whether a bachelor is enough really depends on the field. As a programmer, for example, experience is valued much much more.

It’s not too late. Even if it does take you until your mid 40s that is enough time to gain experience and have a career.
