I’m nearly 45, and on my last course for an undergrad in psychology. I have been studying part-time while working part-time and raising two girls.
We should celebrate those who take the unconventional path, because the under-30s with PhDs operate from a position of privilege.

My grandfather always wanted to do a degree but he went straight into work when he was young. In his mid 70s ge finally got the chance and he completed a degree in vernacular architecture at Oxford University ❤

My first year of uni, a woman in her late 80s (maybe even 90s) was in class with me because she was bored at home so she decided to get an anthropology degree and later I had a classmate who decided to take up archeology as her 50th bday gift to herself (shes doing a masters now)

I had nothing going for me until five years ago. Moved to Sioux Falls without any kind of a plan. Now I make money with comedy, and took the reigns of our local comedy club at age 42.

I will be 47 next month. I’m studying a double major creative writing/literary studies. I hope to do my Honours in 2023 when I’ll turn 50, and finish my novel. If I do well enough and if I’m masochistic enough, I’ll try a PhD.

I’ve got one for you. My sister is now working as a hospice nurse at the very hospice that helped her son who died of lymphoma only 19 months ago. She’s literally my hero.

I relaunched my acting career in earnest at the age of forty, together with making my own work. I’m now 45 and have won six awards in the last five years and toured the world.

Well, it’s not a PhD, but my mom just got her BA the day before her 66th birthday. She graduated Summa cum Laude.
