Oh yeah......you really shouldn't be going out during daylight now you're that old.....you'll frighten the wildlife.

WHAT???? Are you crazy woman? When you're 50, you'll kill to be in your twenties again.

Life is too short. Go and do whatever floats your boat and don't worry. Good luck. xxx

You're not dead until you're dead and if you're not dead you're alive... if you're alive then don't ever think that you can't do what you want to do with some determination and courage. At 27 or 28 you have more than 30 years left to work... would you rather spend that time doing something you enjoy or something you hate because you thought (at 27!!!!) that you were too old to try.

Good luck, follow your heart xx

never too old - 02-11-09, 10:46 AM

I did not change my career til I was 39, I was a drug worker for 15 years, now I work with a different crack problem, the Butt Sac and Crack, you go for it, I believe being older is better.

By the time I qualify I'll be 27/28. Do you think thats too old to be starting a completely new career, esp when most people starting out are around 18?

Well I'm just starting out and am the grand old?? Age of 36!! I don't think you're ever too old. I personally think that those who go into something new when a little more mature tend to be more commited.

I was 37/38/39 and 40 when I qualified in various holistic therapies, and I haven't stopped yet lol. Good luck with it all x

Agree with Lou above, we had a few youngsters on all the courses I trained in and they were the ones that left after Christmas time, no patience some of them.
