What do you think? because by then the person would be graduated at the age of 28-29. Do you think this would still give him the opportunities like what other companies nowadays is looking for which is much younger age? or to cut it short, do you think the world would still be competitive for him by them?

i think its not too late to enter school (college) by the age of 24, every single day is an opportunity to learn. and i think there are still companies who accept applicants with that age (28-29) but you just have to have a more self esteem and faith in yourself. i have a friend who entered college at the age of 24 and graduated at the age of 28. though she encontered some difficulty in applying for a job for her its still worth of coming back to school, than regret the rest of her life if it does really worth.

They say its never too late to start college. In fact, you see on tv stories about people in their 80's graduating from college. The more you want to learn the better.. and I think its a good thing if you want to go to college to pursue a career. good luck to you.

Lobac River Ride - nice buffet lunch while floating on Lobac River.  Beautiful part of Bohol (Philippines).
That's not late at all. In fact, given that the maturity level may be higher, it might be the best time of all to begin school. I would bet the person would be more focused and less likely to waste a lot of time, energy, and money. Besides, there are lots of people ages 30, 40, and 50+ in college, many on their undergraduate degrees. I would tell anyone of any age, GO FOR IT! and enjoy it!
