One can never be too old.

It just depends on if you think you can handle going back to that lifestyle. Are you prepared to jump right back into difficult coursework? You should consider that you won't be done until your 30's, and then what do you want to do?

Also consider that in your thirties, you'll be exactly where you are now unless you take steps to change things. Age is just a number.

Some people think of school and post-grad work as something you do before the REAL fun begins. I can't help but disagree.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun, I'm just saying you might have other priorities in life by that time. Grad school is a full time ordeal, and it doesn't exactly pay well. But if you think it will make you happier, go for it.
