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?
Going back to school isn’t an age thing. It’s a self sufficiency thing. Don’t need to work because someone is supporting you or you have enough money to live off of? School is for you. Living paycheck to paycheck? Keep working.
