26 is considered young, never too old to do anything as long as still fit.

i know is never too old. but society had seems to set their expectations on what one should be doing when they're at a certain age.

when you say you're 26 and just only starting college people tend to give you 'that look'.

I suggest you to stop watching those idol dramas that emphasized of perfectness.

26 years old is uncle? But well, I've seen some people calling themselves old when reaching 20. This world is getting ridiculous day by day.

Education is something meant for lifetime.
As long you you're willing to learn, the school willing to teach.

Please don't mix up a business & an education institute.
Business rip profit out of you whereas school feed you know knowledge as long as you settle your tuition fee.

erm, not really...lols....

I've many friends who are taller but actually look younger than those who are same age but shorter. My friend was 174 cm when form 3 while the other girls were only 156 cm. Of course, at that time she looked older than others but now 20 she looks younger than all of them. You know why? Those who have the body of 15 year old girl look very old in the face of 20 year old girl.

well, since TS is 26 years old, I supposed he has working experience? Being older doesn't mean a disadvantage for him.

Actually my current highest qualifications is only A-levels(pre-u), with pretty decent results but due to some personal/family/financial issues i have to stop my studies after my pre-u and give up on my original plan of doing a science degree in the UK.

so, i realize im not moving any further in life without a degree. rather absurd really. Wtf. why are my skills determine by a single piece of paper.

and because i recently come upon some money (about 200k) and im thinking of doing a easy business degree locally just for the sake of getting a certificate, but part of me want to pursue a degree in microbiology in the US following the US (2+2)transfer program offered in many private college now. however i am anxious to join any college because of the age stigma. sad.gif

Age is not major factor, the major factor the ppl that surround that person.

That ppl have a major fail towards others.

My uncle at age of 40+ still studying and working now at Australia on a PHD, he love studies all his life.

Everytime he come back for festival he sure bring along 1 or 2 books to read. By the way he is married with one son ( dam smart one too )
