I had a discussion with a friend and mentioned I wouldn't mind going back and studying Mathematics at a Tertiary Level .. his response was why, you are 57 .. bit late for a career change.

I am happy to say I at 55 completed my degree in 2018 although officially Feb 2019. After I thought maybe I am too old but now there is so much work available I don't know why I worried about it.
My degree is Electronic and Communication Engineering Honours in RF and COMMS. I am now working full time as an RF and SATCOM Design Engineer and still have fast promotion opportunities. I had a good start though with RF and COmmunication Trade certificate completed in 1984; It did help. I still love to learn as well.
I found that mature age students continue on to complete their degree more than those out of High School.
