YOU’RE NEVER TOO BUSY TO… CONTINUE WITH YOUR EDUCATION
Sep. 23, 2021
Do you have any idea how many people have dismissed the thought of going back to school or even start studying, just because they think they are too old?
How old is too old anyway? 40? 50? 60?
If you asked me, I would say you’re never too old to attend university. It is often said that older people study just for the sake of it, or just to keep busy. Although there is some truth in this, I don’t believe it is always the case.
What about those who want to change careers? Those who are actually interested in doing something different with their lives and now at an elder age have the means to do so? Must they give up the chance to study just because society says they’re too old?
What about those who want to get a PhD at the age of 60? There’s no age limit in the pursuit of higher education, so why limit yourself? No doubt, there will be challenges to face, but don’t we face challenges every day?
What about those who had to interrupt their studies due to sickness, maternity, or financial downfall? There is no reason why they shouldn’t go back to school and finish what they had started just because they’re too old now that they can afford to do so.
Putting off studying under the false pretense of age is sad. After all, it’s just a number!??????
