Studing physics at 33 years old

[Dernailer]

Hi!

First I apologise for my english, I don't write to much...

I live in Swiss, and i have startet study at the epfl, but some money
and family problem stopped my studies... so in 2002 i left the epfl and have worked a little. Now I m 33 and i would like to start my studies again in the university of Bern, in Physics (with astronomy direction). I can reach easily the
bachelor in 3 years... but after? another 2 years for the master... and then?

I know I'm (perhaps) too old, but i would like to start my own business...
or work as r&d.

But starting working at 38... would be hard...because i m laking of experience...

Thaks for yours troughs and your comments

à bientôt
Ivan

A teacher in Nuclear physics examed when he was 32 years old, then started his PhD-school. 10years later, he received a medal from the King of sweden for his work in nuclear physics. This was like 15 years ago.. it is not to late.

Or consider studying engineering because it is easier to work in the field afterwards.

it is never too late if you have enough wit.
may consider part-time study if you are worried about careers
