How old is too old to go back to school? Whether it be to further your education in the profession you are in or to learn another.

I think in most circumstances education should be completed by 25 at the latest and after this one should really focus on their career - what they worked so hard for their whole life. It's all about the money and you're not gonna get any studying your whole life until you make the transition into the workplace.

But what if one had been in the same profession for more than 10-15 years and decided they would like a change....is it too late?

You are never too old to go back to school to continue your education. I have seen articals about people in their 80s going back to school. As long as you can learn go for it.

there's no age limit when one wants to learn. there's no such thing as too late when going to school or going back to school. i am 28. and when i move to sweden next year with my boyfriend, i will go to school for a year to learn their language and another year to upgrade my pharmacist profession to swedish standards. but i don't feel like i am too old to learn. i want to learn- that matters most.


myLot reputation of 81/100. edern1 (642)  6 years ago

oooo...good for you! I believe you're never too old to learn something new. (or a little bit more)
Good luck in Sweden! :-)

Education should be a lifelong pursuit. No-one is ever too old to learn - inability to learn has nothing to do with age, and as you get older, you value knowledge and education more, and in fact can bring your own experience and wisdom to whatever subject you study, giving you an advantage over younger students. Learning is not just about earning as one respondant seems to think; it's also about personal development and growth. If you go into it purely for the fiscal gains you'll make from it, you're missing the point, and robbing yourself of the real rewards education has to offer.


myLot reputation of 81/100. edern1 (642)  6 years ago

I share the same beliefs as you do. My post was more for reassurance for someone I know...so thank you so much for your response! :-)


myLot reputation of 89/100. angelicEmu (629)  6 years ago

You're welcome! People can often feel nervous or hesitant about going back to school, when they're older than the rest of the class. However, most students tend to be supportive, and teachers are always glad of mature students in the classroom. They often raise the bar for the other students, and bring an enthusiasm and an appetite for learning which can be contagious amongst the younger students, but in any case is always welcome from teachers.


myLot reputation of 81/100. edern1 (642)  6 years ago

You are so right! Thanks again! :-)

Absolutely. To say you are too old to learn is proposterous. Any step we take toward bettering ourselves shouldn't have an age limit on it.
