Is 27 too old to begin teaching

Career & Interview Advice

Hi all,

I’m currently an electrician but I’m planning on beginning a 6 year open university bachelor in teaching. I’d also like to gain my QTS as well, any ideas how long this takes?

I’m 27, am I too old to be starting this journey. I can carry on working my full time job and do the university part time.

My long term goal is to be able to teach English language abroad.

Any replies are appreciated 😊
