Is it Realistic to Pursue an Engineering Degree at Age 50?

[TC01]

Hello everyone. My name is Tim and I am new to the community. I am in my mid-40's and am thinking about going back to school to get an engineering degree after a long career as a Paramedic. I found all of you by reading a thread from the site about others in the same situation as myself. I look forward to interacting with everyone and learning quite a bit more.

Welcome! Which thread were you reading? I'd like to read it, too. I'm in my 50's, self-studying, always up for commiseration with other opsimaths!

Thank you! This was the thread I was reading. It gave me hope but it still seems very overwhelming. I'm refreshing all my math and science knowledge in preparation of going back to school. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/becoming-an-engineer-at-age-50.687543/
