Do you have to start at a young age to be a great scientist or inventor?

Question

i failed in school im 22 now and wanna go back to college i wanna be an inventor

Answer 1

You dont need college to become an inventor, You just need an idea!

Answer 2

No you don't have to start at a young age. Age doesn't matter. If you're determined and willing to persevere you will get there. Trust me.

Good luck!! : )

Answer 3

Go to school.  It's never too late.  Many of the greatest minds in science didnt peak until after middle age.  There are a million excuses not to go to school, and none of them are good.

Answer 4

to be great at anything can start at any age

Answer 5

If you're passionate about it you can start at any age.

Why bother with college though? Just go and invent (though college may help in some ways I guess).

Answer 6

i think you should go back to college to study if you whant to be a scientist but an inventor i dont think that is such a good idea because what are you going to invente?? but at your age i think you should go back if you can but that is just my say

Answer 7

Only to be a great lover.

I know.

I did!

Answer 8

It is never to late to be a great inventor just takes a great idea. You dont need to start young :)

Answer 9

I would presume that you don't have to start at a young age, you just need a good bit of logic and a bit of talent, particularly for an inventor.

You can go back and re-train or re-learn subjects, but at 22, you'll probably have to pay for your courses.

But hey, got for it!

Answer 10

If you invent somethin great it doesn't matter how old you are!

Answer 11

i believe that if you want to become an inventor, nothing can stop you. of course, you'd have to be dilligent in your work in order to succeed.

stephen hawking intended to go to school for math, but his dad persuaded him to go into chemistry.. hawking then found out that he wanted to go into cosmology, but needed lots of math experience. according to wikipedia (not reliable, i know) he was about 20 years old when he realized he enjoyed comology.

if you have the determination to go back to college and become an inventor, go for it!

Answer 12

You want to be an inventor: do not tell anyone your ideas until you have patent protection.  You need to understand how the patent system works.  You need to learn to be a business man as well.  Watch out for lawyers and companies who will rip you off.  Watch out for "inventing agencies" who will say that your idea is brilliant, charge you a fortune and do nothing for you (they're out there).  You need to learn how to use contracts.  Your invention(s) must be commercial.

90% of what you learn in college you can get from a library or bookshop.  The upside of college is that you will get yourself a qualification, assuming that you pass!!!

So long as you are mature, streetwise and intelligent, age is not really an issue.

Answer 13

you can be great at whatever you want at any age. go for it!
