    The thing with computer science is that it’s always changing, so everyone has to keep learning it regardless of age or prior experience, or they’ll risk getting left behind.

    Fuck no, do what you love and what calls to you. If you haven’t found anything yet, you need to broaden your horizons.

    It’s much more cut and dry than most people think. All these questions have to do more with you and what you’re willing to do than the logistics. You’ll almost always be able to work logistics out eventually so focus on the you part to make sure your “vehicle” is suitable for the terrain

    I’m in my late 40s and I just got a bachelor’s degree. I just started a masters program. It’s never too late.

    Go for it my man (or your gender-aligned equivalent term)! At that age, you can still hang out with your classmates without it being weird, so you can still build connections like everyone else. Even if you were 40 though you could still do it, networking would be harder though.

        Enders game is a book/movie about a future human civilitation that is under attack of an alien species. To ensure survival they train children as strategists because they take more risk and use unconventional tactics. They are basically saying “nobody requires you to be young here”.
