>so now i work in a warehouse
As an alcoholic, unmotivated 25yr old failing electrical engineering, I was on course to become this. Until one day when I was horrified of my future, cut down on the booze, studied and got my degree at 28.
Now I work in a comfy office attached to a warehouse. I sometimes go in the warehouse and see the warehouse workers. And almost every time I do that, I thank myself for not allowing myself to end up in there.
Am also debt free because university is cheap/free where I live. It's how I was able to afford taking it easy until fear for the future made me do something.

Im 31 doc. Its over

If you're under 40 you have plenty of time. I'm 36 and getting my BA now. I got a good gov't job this year and moving into int'l affairs next year.

There is an age cap, obviously, but it's not really where some people think it is.

Why not just study and try to become a self learned expert? You can work on some niche problems for a decade and come out with a paper
