Unfortunatly I discovered my passion for physics well into studying for my bachelors degree in philosophy, and now I'm in a position where by the time I'm done taking all of the lower division physics courses required to re-enter my school (UC Berkeley) as a physics major, I will be almost 25 years old by the time I graduate with a B.S. in physics. This is really depressing since most physics students are well into graduate school studies by that age, and I will be around 30 by the time I can begin post-doc research. I'm just wondering whether my late start will affect my career much. I don't want to seem like the dumb guy who's older than all of my peers studying physics.
I don't know...I'm really excited about deciding to pursue physics and I've never been more sure and excited about my future, but I'm still depressed since it's such a long way off. With everything going on with the LHC in Europe I feel like I'm missing out on the most important research during my life span. Maybe I'm just being too negative but all of this is really bothering me...
