Re: Do you think you are ever to old to accomplish or achieve something in life

Depends on what you want to achieve.

If you want to be a singer/actress/model, although there are people who have done it late in life, the odds are really stacked against you since only like 1% of young people make it.

If you want to change careers, go back to school, or something like that...that's totally do-able. I graduated with my masters at 29, which led me into a completely different field from what I was in (corporate to healthcare). Realisticly there are people in their 60's and older who go back to school. The only time you can't do something is when your dead, so why not try? You only have one go of it in this life...the only one who can put boundries on what you can do is YOU.Chat Icon

Well, since I am already in a huge amount of debt from undergrad and graduate school, I don't see a career change in my near future. Chat Icon

I also think the odds are stacked against as well for certain things that take mostly natural talent to accomplish, such as singing and dancing.

If there are alternative ways though to pursue your goals (i.e. getting school completely paid for) or just doing something for fun (i.e. learning how to do a back flip), I think we should always go for it.
