Is 28 too late to start a degree?

[Woodchip]

I keep thinking about going to Uni to study Stage Management, although it's a difficult industry to get into, and the hours are shit, and money isn't great! However, it is something I thoroughly enjoy.

DO IT!!

 

[Gwylan]

Yeah go for it.

My aim when I retire is to go back to uni, so will I be too old at 65?

 

[Wozza]

Yeah, go for it Les!

Think I might have found the pefect place for you...

Right, anyone brought the crisps?

 

[Clothes Peg]

Oooh, what an exciting new development. If you think it's financially beneficial in the long run, then do it.

Nah, no major BINfest contributions from me today - working from home, so I can find better uses of spare time.

 

[Les Biehn]

Yeah, go for it Les!

Quite funny for you Wozza.

 

[Wozza]

Thanks.

Which will also involve pulling up a chair and rubbing your hands.

 

[Les Biehn]

Thanks.

And not a thud in sight. You've really turned a corner

I've pretty much decided to go back to uni and will be 28 if I do. Is this a bad idea?

That's exactly the age I was when I went to do my degree.

Had a blindin' time, got a degree, found a decent job, and even managed to meet the girl I married in the student bar.

So as you can probably guess, I'd say...... go do it

now that was a co-incidence .................

It must be a tricky decision to give up earning for training and a debt .................... but you are not be the first. My nephew has done something similar - and he is happy he made the right move.

I would do it, if the career opportunities that are available after the degree are better than what is available right now id go for it. however, i cannot believe you are 28 !! I always imagined you to be my age which is 20. You let the kids of this group drag your name down Les !!!!

It's often the case that when parts of the unplanned enthusiasm for riddling and stirring oneself in the question marked intent of daily student life have left, that university would be a much finer experience. Less of an i dunno, and more of eyeing a curriculum and getting excited by certain days without the influence of speed, 99p Fosters festivals and visiting European athletes with unwanted facial hair and side-partings governing their every bristle.

In much different deadened fields, i am to choose a brief course soon and learn to write a bit again. The thought terrifies me as it's a possible humiliating display of my lack of talent, and how it never lived. But, still much better to do than continue in this wet life of nothings and messageboard rage.

Go for it Les.
