Am I too old and too late? I’m so lost
Hey everyone
I hope I don’t annoy anyone with my question. The last few years weren’t easy for me and I had to focus on my family (parents and siblings), health and family issues. That’s the reason why I wasn’t able to go to University yet Now I wanted to ask you all something.
Am I too old (I’m in my end 20s) for some studies? And if I wanna be a professor one day, will this be a disadvantage for me? My age, this gap of many years not going to Uni, etc? What are the qualifications that are jmportant to become a professor? Do they look at my final grade or at my CV?
I’ll be honest. I’m pretty anxious because idk what to do and if I won’t achieve anything in life. I’ve always been a good student at school, but after sacrificing so many years, I’m just afraid I won’t be able to do anything in life. Find a job, start family etc.
Maybe someone has some advices for me
