Yes it is possible. I returned to study at age thirty and within 5 years I had two degrees, which I am now applying in a much better job than I would have had previously. There were people there older than me as well. I say go for it - the biggest decision you face now is whether to study full time and work part time or study part time and work full time. Both are hard, I personally studied full time and worked full time but it's a very hard slog. You have a few years of challenge ahead, but you can do it. Believe in yourself, go for it, and stick it out!

A degree IS possible for you. Get brochures on the colleges near you. Look into Pell grants, and other options for funding.
If you are single, the possibility of a free education exists. Not sure how it works in your state, but I was told to go to the Employment Service to sign up first, ensuring more funding for continuing education.
There are lots of older adults in colleges, trade schools & universities now. You can do it! Don't let your fears hold you back. And don't pay attention to the rude answers you have recieved to your serious question.!

Yes, it's never too late to study. If you are able to return to university you can study both part time or full time or if you have other commitments then the open university is a good place to start. This all depends where you want to go and what you want to do of course. Probably best to contact uni's direct or local careers service. They will also be able to advise you on funding as will your local education authority. am looking to go back myself next year and my mother studied later in life and has done really well.
Good luck

No offence but, are you Dyslexic you appear to be don't let that put you off, Yes you can get a degree in virtually any subject from Teaching assistant to machanic to historian. It depends what country you are from but go to your local career centre they can help you. If you live in Britain you can get extra help if you have a learning difficulties, if you are low income you can get help with fees etc and there is The Open University, or universities around the country you have to have GCSEs of c and above but you can go to college and work towards your foundation degree if you are determined you can get there.
Good Luck hope your dreams come true1

It is possible to do a degree part time but it will take time and hard work but it can be done if you are committed to it. You would need some background in your chosen degree but there are foundation courses for some areas.
Best of luck whatever you decide - you are never too old!!
