Am I too old to study abroad; I'm currently 31?

Question

I do fancy the idea of studying and then maybe work in the U.K., but now I realize that I maybe to old for all of this and should stay here and focus on a career in the states? I own rental property and am pretty secure with my life - is this risk of studying and hopefully working overseas worth the effort?

I thought about having a career in logsitics which has to do with international shipping - so I figure I could make some good contacts along the way

The first thing u have 2 decide is whether u have the funds to support ur self and ur family during the period of ur studies  in the uk,if u enter Uk o a student visa then ur only allowed 2 work 20 hours a week and u will be paying the forigen student rate of fees. Other wise a person is never 2 old 2 learn but the earlier in life 1 completes there education and takes up a career is better .

You're never too old to learn something new! Definitely take advantage of your secure income and persue your dream. If you think you're too old now, wait 30 years from now. Then you'll really regret not having tried it now.

Answer 10

If you are from the U.S. you are not old at all, if you stay in the UK or go back to the US you'll be alright and will have great value

If you are from a 3rd world country, yes you are old, as it would be a much greater risk since if you don't stay in the UK after your studies you won't be able to get a job because of age in your home country and will be ruined
