Same'ish. I went back to college when I was 29. Everything about that experience was awesome and I got more than I wanted out of it. I had total control over what my educational path was going to be and I took it super seriously.

I think we do better because we understand what college actually is and the world in which it exists. We use advisors as exactly that, advise and consent. Some kids out of high school just do whatever their advisors tell them to. Older people going to college are far more likely to know exactly what they want after having thought long and hard about it and are more willing to put sincere conscious effort into making it happen. Whereas some young people just "want a degree" or just "want a job." It's almost sad how little thought or effort some kids put into college. This set of differences makes us better students and gives us a higher likelihood of changing our long term trajectory so we don't end up in /r/antiwork or whatever is going on with kids these days.

I am very passionate about going back to school.

I started and dropped out to join the army. Didn't start again til I was 26. I got my Bachelor's at 31 after a couple false starts, masters at 33. I'm 35 now and jumping back in to get my doctorate. The key to success is finding both motivation and discipline. My first time, I was motivated to go, but I also wanted the social experience and couldn't find a balance. After I finished the army, I had plenty of discipline but had to learn to be motivated because I was much older than my classmates and didn't have a real social connection. Then I got to grad school and was a lot closer to average age.

At the end of the day, though, nobody needs that stuff unless you are a nerd like me. Just figure out how you want to live your life and make that happen.
