and guess what, at 43 I hope to be returning to university myself. A medical condition has fucked me up and stops me doing my original trade, so now I am a lazysod who lives on the dole
Good for you. In my time at uni, I've seen men aged 50 go to study a 5 yr masters in pharmacy (in the same class as his teenage daughter). One of my good freinds is about 45 yrs, she has grown up children too! And in another case, theres an uncle/nephew pair in the same class too. So 43 isn't going to be that old, there are enough mature students wheer I am, they have their own society where you need to be above a certain age to join!

I know a lot of students, a friend of mine is just finishing her 2nd doctorate, she took a few years off from working just to do the 2nd doctorate, thats costing her over £150k a year after tax for every year she dont work. She decided at 39 that her doctorate in pharmacology (which she begun aged 19) wasnt what she really wanted after all, (she only spent half her life using that doctorate for the benefit of others so obviously she was a lazy sod as well), so instead she is studying to gain a doctorate in Languages which wont help many people at all, just the lazy sods that want to go to university to learn other languages
£150K a year?? Since she's doesn't want it anymore, can I have her old job then?
