Definitely in Canada. You will need to check with the education system in your country and will most likely find you may need to finish some upgrading before getting a place in University. Get on with the research now and do it. You will find a way, just do it. Post your results so we can all celebrate with you.

Well, I would like to say that there is no age limit for the education. Now since you are 34 you are more matured and so if you have decided to pursue MBA then it must be a matured decision. I think that you can look for some correspondance courses or some evening colleges. It is not very difficult to get the admission to MBA now. But you have to assure yourself that you will toil for it. It is not also an easy task to complete this course while handling your other responsibilities. If you are determined to start, then straight way serach for some evening college MBA course or good correspondance course and just start it. BEST LUCK.

There's no age limit to someone who would like to expand their knowledge and to acquire new friends through school.
When I'm taking my MBA I had a classmate who is more than 50 years old and he regret not taking MBA on his early years but he's still happy of taking MBA even he is much older now. There are actually a lot of much older people who are still taking MBA just to be promoted before they retire and some are going to school to fulfill their dreams.

Hi, learning is a lifelong activity - it's never too late to embark on anything.
I don't know what field you are interested in; so it's hard to recommend or suggest. However you can search the internet or check with your colleges or universities offering MBA courses. Good luck and have fun!

Hey, I started my MBA when I was 24 years old. There's no age requirement in enrolling at MBA classes. I think what is important is you are currently working so that you can apply the principles and theories to your actual job functions or work experiences.

Yes of course...there is no age limit for education.
I had my 1st masters degree in the University of the Philippines when I was 28. Ihad older classmates then...some were 50.When I had my 2nd MA, I was 35 I think, I had older classmates...more than 50...it was fun having them around older than our professors.
My sister who is 38 just had her MBA at the Rockfield School of Business in Switzerland.
Just stay focused. There are professors who are intimidating,but dont fret...there are those too who are very accomodating. If you are always prepared with the subject matter,meaning you have read ahead...studied,and prayed...nothing can go wrong. If you have assigned reports,see to it that you have prepared for it at least 2 weeks before.I mean,2 weeks before the reporting, you have completed the presentation already and all you have to do is going over the completed materials every day. Do not cram with reports, you will surely have no time to study anticipated questions...and do not forget to pray...I studied a lot and prayed a lot.Good luck.
