I have to tell you that i am one of those people who never planned to go to "real" college. I went to beauty school so, That, I thought, would be all i need. Plus...My brother got all of the brains. I am the creative one so what good would it do.
Anyway... fast forward...At the age of 29, circumstances unfolded so that i had the chance to go to college (for very little $$ because i have no dependents).
Going to college at 29 was THE BEST EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! or could have imagined.
I showed more interest, detication, and commitment than i had known i could have for school. My brain also "got it" a little bit more because i had some relevent perspective to relate it to.
I went to SF City College and suprisingly, I was definately one of the younger ones that were at my campus. People of ALL ages are back in school.
There are things that werent invented since we were there (in high school etc.) and they are the wave of the future. You are going to be better off getting this new training now rather than later, because you will only be needing these new skills for the future.
GO FOR IT!!!
youve got nothin to lose...
good luck!

not at all... i know a couple of people got bachelor's degree when they're 40s and 50s. it's never too late.
some colleges offer special classes like night or weekend class for people who works full-time on weekdays. and some companies have tuition reimbursement as a part of benefit.
i work full-time mo-fri, and it's been a couple years since i went to school last time. but i'm trying to go to a college next year.

Depends. Are you just enrolling now or have you been in college since you were 18.

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!
College is FOR any age! Bloody H E L L !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not all people go right out of High School!
In fact it is better to wait and do what you want after High School, you spent K-12 grade in school because YOUR PARENTS made you and then you get out for a load more?
NO!
Do what you want and go to college when your ready! You will get the most out of it if you go when you WANT to not by force!
NO AGE LIMIT FOR COLLAGE!
