    I am 40 and got my bachelor with 25, now sometimes I think about getting also masters, but feel too old, still I learn new things doing a lot of courses for my job in informatics. PhD, wow. I would be the first in my family to have one, not even allowing me to dream about it 🙈 but you make it sound like “sure, why not”. Thank you for that and sharing your moments with us! 🎊❤️
