Ask HN: Age preferences for grad school?

3 pointsby j2d2almost 16 years ago
I have been offered a sweet deal at a great grad school but I am nearly 30 and feel like I'm a bit old for it. Any pros and cons from your experiences as to good ages and limits for grad school?

If you can afford it, why not? You'll learn a bunch of cool stuff, have time to think about what you want to build, and meet interesting people. Grad school for me, was the first time where age didn't seem important. We just worked on fun stuff and socialized as little or as much as we wanted.<p>The only real con is that your earnings will take a hit during, and maybe, after depending on what you're working on. It also depends on the sweetness of the deal.
