When I was a child, I was not that intelligent as compared to my younger sister. But I was the one who got the first college diploma in the family. I just finished my 2nd degree last March 07. And I love going to college. Planning to get my 3rd in the near future but I am 40 now. Isn't it too late for me to get the 3rd degree?

You sound like a professional student, LOL. No it is never to late to go back to school and learn. You are not old at all. Who told you that forty is old. I am 37 and I am young. As long as you have breath in your body, you should still be learning.

You can not worry about the other people around you. You have to do what is best for you. I know that it can be very awkward when you are in a classroom with younger pepole, I have been there. But, I do not let anything that minor keep me from achieving my goals.

No way Philboi, it's never too late! Doesn't matter what age you get your degree, you should be proud of your achievements and good on you for going back to school. I have a very good friend who turns 40 this year and he graduates next year with a PHD, so keep going. If you have the stamina and energy to do another degree, then go for it!! I wish I had your enthusiasm!
