This post relates a lot to me, I'm 39 but after big hesitation due to a busy job and juggling around with a small child I have enrolled to start study a BA in History in a distance university from September. Thanks for inspiring me. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
My son - aged 10 - goes to bed reading about history every night and is becoming a bit of an expert on various world empires. Spots connections linking them and high level themes. I did a Classics degree then law and the history has never left me, but I always loved drama and literature too. I’m currently writing a historical fiction book about Galen but focussing on his imagined daughter (we don’t know one way or another what family he had so I had room for conjecture here). But there are lots of real characters and real ancient literary references. I spend more time on that than on the articles in here, but I love both.
Learning has no age, studying has no age, and passion has no age. I think you’re brave, a lot of people give up on passions and dreams thinking it’s ‘too late’. As long as you’re alive, there are no time limits on when to do something you like.
Plus we are forced to choose at 18 what we want to do for the rest of out lives, and at that age we barely know who we are. I am doing my second master’s at 37, and I intend to do my PhD, too.
