At age 43 I quit my bullshit job in retail pharmacy, went back to school full time, ended up with an internship with a great company which led to a full-time position. Finished my degree a few months ago. It is never too late for anybody.
Never let your age be the factor you use to talk yourself out of finishing school/pursuing a new career.
At 44, the temptation to walk away from my comfy, university data management job and go back to school to be a surveyor, electrician, or HVAC tech is incredibly real.
I just don’t know if I could inflict that onto my wife. We’re very much a two-income family.

Seems weird they used metal instead of wood.
