AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with editing title threads, noting that changes can only be made immediately after posting. If edits are attempted later, the modifications only reflect above the original post. To resolve this, it is recommended to contact the forum mentor directly for assistance.

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued.
