Is it to late to go back to school

Going back to school is never a bad idea.I think you should go back to school as it will allow you to get a great job and career.If you go into a course that you find interesting im sure you will stick to it and be able to land a decent paying job in the future.With a child though it could be a bit more difficult but you should try to find child care for free or at a low cost.Im sure you can do it!

23 is still young. And speaking of education, nothing is late in learning. Actually, learning is a continuous process. After I graduated in secondary school, i worked for many years because I am the sole provider of my family. I was able to take a degree and graduated at the age of 30, now do you think 23 is late? Now that I'm working, I still want to study, just for the purpose of enhancing and be updated for the continuous advancement of technology and education. Nothing wrong at your age and status for as long as you are determined to go back to school, go for it will be for your better future. Good luck.

i dont think it is ever too late to go back to school. i would go in a heartbeat if i could.

Your still young,anytime you can go back school and it's not late.I have to tell you this,when I am into nursing school I have my classmate,when we graduated she is already 48 years old,but look at her she is not ashamed to go back school eventhough at that age,just put in mind that learning is a continuous process.So why not go back school,it's not late.Happy mylotting!!!

Have you ever wondered why there is not an age limitation for attending college? It's because knowledge is life everlasting. As long as you are alive and you want to learn, then any form of education is never too late. You'll also be settin good standards for your son. When you get to the point that you have no need for a formal education then you stop. This decision can only be yours. In this day and age, getting child care should not be too difficult. That should be your first priority. As far as which field, yes, the medical field has always been very hot and continues to be. That's mostly because no matter what, people will need medical care in one form or another and there are so many avenues to choose from.

The day they plop you in the box is the day you're too old for school. As long as you have an interest in something, you should go for it. But you need to think seriously about what you want to be and do in the years to come. All of this hit and miss is wasting time. I trained as a medical assistant years ago and I couldn't find a job, either, but the training sure helps me finish crossword puzzles and all the medical knowledge came in handy when my husband had cancer. I could understand the doctors and nurses. I don't think they liked it. When you have decided what you really want to be and do, then look into how you go about it. When I took a computer course ten or so years ago, it was amazing how many 'silver surfers' there were on the course. Learning is fundamental, doing well in something teaches your children to persevere with the hard things in life. Making something better of yourself will be great for your whole family, but only if it's something that you really want to do for a very long time. Now, having said all that I'm going to throw a spanner in the works: do you really want to miss the first couple of years of your new baby's life? Because you can always learn, but a child is never that young again.

It is never too late to go back to college. I know people who are in there 40s and 50s who are going back to college. They are doing it because they need to change careers or they want to get a job that offers them some stability. My boyfriend's mother and "soon-to-be" step-father, both went back to college to get their degrees. His mother had been out of college for about 10 years, and the "soon-to-be" step-father had never been to college. You can certainly go back to college.

23 is nowhere near too old. I started college in my early 20's. And I wasn't even the oldest person in most of my classes. They had students in their 30's and even in their 50's and 60's just starting. As long as the opportunity is there, there's no such thing as too old. And at 23, there's very little it's too late in life for you to do. Age shouldn't even come up as an obstacle. It seems the main problem is whether you have someone to watch your children while you're at school. As for what's hot in the field, I'm sorry, I won't be any help there. I have no idea. Didn't really when I was in school myself. But, I can say if you can find a solution to any other obstacle then do it.

it's not too late to go back to school. If you really want to be successful in your career then you should go back to school. You can work and at the same time studying but you have a child so it wouldn't be easy. But you can let your loved ones take care of your child while you're working and studying. Goodluck!

You're never too old to learn! While I may only be 19, I have loads of classmates who are in their late twenties, mid-thirties, and even older! You can go back to college and learn whatever you want, whenever you want! It is best if you know you have the time and money to devote to school, and if you know that what you're getting into is a good career path for you to take. It's going to be hard for you to go to school without the support of your husband, so I'd recommend that you explain to him why you want to go back and get him on board with your plan.

23 too old? What?!? I went back to school when I was 33, and graduated when I was 37. Even though I have a degree I am studying on line. I am taking a course from a career school. I want to learn about physical therapy so I can help my son! I just turned 50! So no, you are not too old to do whatever you want!

There is no timeline with regards to going back to school and studying. As long as you still have will to learn and you have the time to do it. The only thing that you will have problem with is managing your time with your kids and hubby while studying at the same time. A good idea is Home study. There are some schools who offer these services and i think it will be much easier for you to have this kind of thing so you can still manage your time with your kids.

As simple as this: Until you have life it's not too late to go back to school unless you believe age matters in school.

I've been in and out of school myself. And at my 40's, I'm still back to school. I wish I were as young as you so I still have time to study more courses later. The thing is: look for a course where your talents and interests will match. The passion that you have for learning will show. It's difficult to take up a course just because it's popular or in demand, though it may help. But, will you love the job later on?

go go go nothing should stop you from going back to school and getting the education you deserve i am currently in a correspondence school

I recently attended a University graduation, the majority of the students were young as we all expect. But what caught my eye were several elder graduates. After the ceremony I went over to congratulate a couple of them and can I tell you that one was 81 and completed Law School. The other was 72 and graduated with her bachelors. Reason why I am explaining this is because it was their dream and up until now they were not able to achieve it due to life responsibilities. So the point I am trying to make, absolutely it is never to late. Whichever field you choose make sure it is something you really want to enjoy to do, as not only will it be an accomplishment, you will succeed in your field of career. Good Luck and be Blessed!

Learning is a continuous process. The more you learn, the more you become a genuine person.

Hi Nicole, It's never late to start again. It doesn't matter if it's school, new job, second kid. So don't worry and go back to school.

Nicole, In my own opinion I think it is not late for you to go back schooling. At the age of 23 your still very young. If you really think that you need to go back to school then go ahead. Actually here in our city there was a 59 yrs old who had just graduated his high school degree. So compare with your age your still very young. And besides the school doesn't require age for enrollment. Good luck and Godspeed

there is no word to late in mine. i think education is for all age
