The individual is the only one that can make the final decision. I say if you want to learn something go for it or be prepared to look yourself in the mirror and explain why you didn't try.
Too late for what?
If you slept through your26th birthday, it's too late for you to experience that. It's too late for you to watch "LOST" in its premiere broadcast. (Though, honestly, you didn't miss much.) It's too late for you to fight in the Vietnam War. It's too late for you to go through puberty or attend nursery school. It's too late for you to learn a second language as proficiently as a native speaker. It's probably too late for you to be breastfed.
It's not too late for you to fall in love.
It's not too late for you to have kids.
It's not too late for you to embark on an exciting career or series of careers.
It's not too late for you to read the complete works of Shakespeare; learn how to program computers; learn to dance; travel around the world; go to therapy; sky dive; develop an appreciation for jazz; write a novel; get an advanced degree; save for your old age; read "In Search of Lost Time"; become a Muslim, then a Scientologist; break a few bones; learn how to fix a toilet; develop a six-pack ...
You don't get to use age as an excuse.
Also, learn about what economists call "sunk costs." If I give someone $100 on Monday, and he spends $50 on candy, he'll probably regret that purchase on Tuesday. In a way, he'll still think of himself as a guy with $100—half of which is wasted.
What you are isn't a person who has wasted27 years. You are a person who has X number of years ahead of you. What are you going to do with them?
Just keep going , study and learn .
It is never late to learn when you are passionate about the subject and when you are learning , you can very well get a college degree. Age should not be a bar at all. Sometime the older you are, it would be better. All the best
Age should not matter, as learning is a continuous process whether it is a formal, non formal or informal learning.
