You have no idea how young 25 is until you're, say, 30. I didn't even find the right career path at 25. I just started in tech around 28.

My 90 year old grandmother told me 2 weeks ago how young I am. I am 42. It is never too late to do something new.

Indeed. My mother founded an educational software start-up at 60. 4 years later it's doing rather well actually.

>It is never too late to do something new.

Absolutely. Our individual lives aren't even a blip on the radar of life as a whole on our planet, let alone our universe. We get a very short amount of time to live, even shorter to live well (health, mobility, etc.). The idea of going to do something you dislike every day for 30-40 years of that very short time is just about the anti-thesis of what we should be doing with our time here.

Yeah, I just turned 40, tell me about it :)

You have no idea how young 40 is until you're say, 50 :)
