I'm only 25, but I'm doing a career change already. I've been in public relations/journalism for 3 years post-college but decided to go into surgical tech school (eventually surgical assistance school) already.

There are a LOT of older people at my school and I'd say more than half my class in this program are over age 35. They don't seem to struggle at all balancing their school, work and home lives.

My mom went to paramedic school at 40. She said it was a little difficult, but she had never gone to college before that, so I think it was more of a "I didn't know what to expect" thing moreso than age.

Go for it!! I'm a lifelong learner so I have a feeling i'll be always wanting to switch things up.
