I entered law school at 50..
Walked into a classroom full of youngsters..
They got up thinking I was their lecturer!
The rest is not history…but it was great being a student again, and getting my law degree.

He didn’t lose everything but Tomasi di Lampedusa began writing The Leopard, one of Italy’s greatest novels, in his late 50s, and it was only published after his death at 60.

How about a 65 year old guy who retired from being an SDSU professor and took up his long delayed musical career as singer/songwriter??

Turn 48 today, going back to work part time on Tuesday after a 4 years break due to Lyme. 2nd year Certificate in Egyptology begins Oct. 1st in my 2nd language, plan to begin a Diploma at 50 and a MA at 52 if I can save enough. I won’t probably begin my Phd before 60 and it’s ok!

I put my hand up during The Surge at age 39, turned 40 in initial entry training; my first deployment was a combat tour with a Special Operations detachment at age 41. Seven mobilizations so far.
I turn 50 in 3 weeks. Let’s see what comes next. pic.twitter.com/hFBJiMhMwq

I started writing screenplays at 58, and this month, at 60, I won a place in the Meryl Steep/Nicole Kidman supported @The_Writers_Lab with my western LITTLE SISTER, a story I would have been incapable of writing when I was younger. #nevertoolate

Decided to have a try at a more mom-friendly career and got my nursing degree at 45. Now I’m just about to finish my masters at 59. Perhaps a DNP when I can’t turn patients any longer. ❤️
