Is it too late to pursue a career as a lieutenant?

If you're age is 31-35, for the Army it's very close - one must be commissioned by 32. Thje Air Force under some circumstances accept up to age 39, I'm not sure about the Navy or Marines.

Either way - none of it is optimal - in part because you are way behind your year groups, and becuase the LT jobs will demand a lot of you - physically - because you're prepping for higher responsibility, and the career path can be narrow. And you absolutely need a 4-year degree.

For nurses, doctors and chaplains - the age is extended, up to 42.

There are other ways to serve though. Lots of serving civilians besides our forces.

FYI - I'm retired Army myself...

@octoberthesixth The police. The Marines. The Navy. The Air Force.

Lieutenant is a rank, not a job. What specifically would you like to do?

@DunningKruger And to think that “they say”Millennials (Generation Y) are often considered one of the most educated and technologically proficient generations…
