    First thing my parents did when they retired was pick a university degree to take to keep their minds active.

    If someone can for fun complete a maths degree at 73, pretty sure it’s not too late for whatever you want to do.

    Wow this is insanely relatable. I’m 28 starting my life over, going back to college. I’m quitting the tech industry and hoping to become a lawyer to start suing tech companies instead of working for them.

    I started over at 30. New country, new field of study, new everything and although it wasn’t easy (mostly because I didn’t even know the language), it could be done. Now, at 40, I’m learning Japanese just for fun and to keep my mind engaged. If you think someone at 28 is too old, I hate to break it to you, but you are terribly wrong. You’re too old only when you decide you are too old.
