You're never too old for an education.

Geez so many responses so quickly you would think this post contained nudity lol

Yes. Either you mean high school, in which case, what school is allowing that haha or you mean Uni, in which case, why bother as you will be too old to get a job in the field you're studying

After working in the bank for his entire 20s and 30s and mid 40s. My father became a pilot at 48.
He then became a flight instructor. Never too old even for him. He's retired now at 77.

When the education system was designed people generally lived into their 70's and retired in their mid-60's. Today, it is not out of possibility to live into your 100's. And, based on economic conditions, you will likely work into your 80's. So, no 50 is not too old to go to college and could have significant benefits to make it worthwhile, both financially and from a personal development perspective. No partying on school nights, though.

For career opportunities? Probably. For learning to grow as a person? Never.

No, Just don't join a sorority. ☺

Never too old...and you're old enough to buy beer 😉

Its never too late

👍 NO. Your life experience will allow you to appreciate it more than you would at 18yrs. You wont receive a good education you will take it, own it, and understand that 'no one' can take it away from you.

Absolutely not ... it may be more challenging than anticipated ... . Sitting in a lecture hall for 8 hours during a continuing education course in my profession is a lot harder that it used to be ..,and I’m 37 😉

Never to old to go to school. College, I've seen some in their 80's finishing high school. Do what you want, follow your heart.

NO but times have changed and the teachers now have a more hidden agenda and can be very left wing nutters - especially in welfare

Nope! Actually I support it, like when someone restarts to study after retiring from job.

My teacher had a 70 something year old guy in her course at university

There’s no such thing when you’re wanting to better yourself.

No. At my university at least you wouldn’t be the only one either

No, if it’s want you want then go get it

Never too old. What do you want to study?

No. As long as you have a dream, follow it.

i also started, being 51........still busy after 2 years.......:)

no... never too old for learning new stuff...

No, I think college is wasted on the youth.

We'll call you mom or granny. Undecided.

Your never too old to learn, go for it.

nope. enjoy it.
now get to work! ;)

It’s never too old to seek knowledge

Absolutely not! Go for it!

Absolutely not! Go for it!

You get to college young lady!

No. Colleges prefer older students.

No your not. I taught at a university for years. I taught night classes mainly because it gave older students (who had family or job duties during the day). But... had older students during the day. My very best to you. Have a great day. Larry

Absolutely not!

No, it never is!

Nope ! Now you are wiser !

No.

While it may seem like a step backwards or a delay in your life, think of it instead as an opportunity to gather more tools, resources, knowledge and insights, and a chance to take an even bigger step afterwards.

No, not at all.

I've had quite a few piano pupils aged over 50 and actually prefer that age group to children. At least you know they're there because they want to learn and not because their parents want them to learn.

Not at all.

Just do it...

nope

Nope.

No.

No

No

Nope, I went to a 2 year college and one of my friends that I now work with was in his 50's when he went there.
