cross-posted from: linux.community/post/4052877 don’t give me the it’s never too late bs. Life happens, people have jobs, debts and rent to pay. Going back to school when you’re employed means debt, earning way less or nothing during your bachelor or master, stress, opportunities you’re not aware of because you’re simply not at your workplace anymore, unpaid overtime during those 2 to 3 years… the money you lose is more than what the bachelor / accreditation costs. When does it start being a stupid idea? Is it when you’re 30? 40? 50?

Schooling isn’t that important anymore. But you should never stop learning. When you stop you die - or slowly rot away. You do not need fancy schools to learn new things. They only give you some random piece of paper. There are countless ways to learn new things on the internet. Free udemy courses, youtube tutorials or even paid tutoring lessons and apps to learn new languages. You could even buy paid college courses online and fo it at your leisure. Or just visit couple courses for some small $.

You do not need fancy schools to learn new things. The one exception to that as I pointed out in my comment, are fields which are subject to regulations and actually do need formal training and licensing, like, as I also pointed out, you’re not getting a CDL through a free course if you want to get into driving semis, for example.
