Is 28 too late to change your life? (Realistically)

I know that sounds dramatic but.... if I wanted to go back to university I’d be in my 30s before I graduated, plus all the debt. It feels so late to start again. Would graduate schemes or employers even look at me? I did an arts degree and went down the creative route (teaching violin and performing and some admin jobs for music companies) but Covid and general itchy feet has made me reconsider my life. Has anyone done this?

I career changed at about 40 (from a well-paid but soul-sapping one to an averagely-paid fab one).
I’m very glad I did, but even so, honestly, sometimes the grass does look greener... Only you know if the new direction is really what you want, and not a daydream. You are absolutely not too old, but you be sure it’s not a reaction to the last 12 months of weirdness and is actually what you want.

Check all entry points to your career - do you actually need the degree?

Is it too late to find a husband at 28?

hey folks.
i just got out of a 2 year relationship, thought he was the one.
i really want to start a family some day. Everything else is already established in my life, i have my degrees and a job that i love.
it just feels like i missed the train in the personal department.
is there any chance i will still find a suitable partner to start a family with at the age of 28 ?
