Knowing the ageism is very real in the job market is going to university even worth it at my age?
Sure I'd get a fancy piece of paper that says look I know things but knowing how ageist the job market is I doubt going at my age is worth anything.

But it would have other beneficial effects.
It would demonstrate you know how to study.
Puts you in contact with people of similar interest.
Gives you a sense of ‘loyalty’ to an institution. That can be a bonus over other candidates in the job market post graduation.
It would widen your social circle.
Probably give you a salary boost once qualified over other people in the company you work for.
Takes you away from the employment insanity of the current situation.
You wouldn’t earn as much while studying but you’d probably qualify for every grant going.
Might be much to recommend it !
