is 50 too old to go to college?

@Qwerty14 Too old?

@Vetrov Yeah. Age bias means no job wants an entry level worker in their mid 50s

@Qwerty14 Like me!

@Vetrov Yeah. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but most jobs what someone that can do it for 20+ years, not 5-10.

Im 51. Its not out of the question id return to education. Now my kidsxare grown up, i have time for me. Why shouldnt i if i so wish to do so?

@RubySoo University is a very expensive way to attain a piece of paper that allows the holder to have better bargaining power in job interviews.

Based on that, I wouldn't recommend someone in their 50s going to uni because no one wants to hire someone that old for an entry level position.

However, if you are going to uni to learn something inside your field (eg a refresher course) then I'd think that a very smart idea.

@Qwerty14 and how about simply doing something because its what you always wanted to do....but you put yr dreams on hold to raise a family or be a carer? Just to prove you can?
Finacially....i coukd more afford to do it thatcat any other point in my life x

@RubySoo If you want to start another career...then do a bit of research.

And if your job is in “Statute”.

Then you’re laughing 😆

@RubySoo If your only goal is to go to uni then sure, go to uni :)

@Qwerty14 the question doesny actually say Uni. It says college.
Ive been and done college many times in my life...as a teen, in my 20s 30s and 40s....all part time courses. Im not going to stop coz im 50+

@RubySoo I specified in my original comment that college may mean either high school or Uni but I wasn't sure what the OP meant

College is college? School is school and uni is uni?

@RubySoo College is just a term to refer to a school. In NZ it is only used to mean High School but in the US it is used only to mean University. So I clarified.

In the UK college is futher education. After leaving school...for adults of all ages running alsorts of courses....of all levels.
