Ask HN: Am I too old to switch to an engineering degree?
I've been following this site for over 5 years now, because I'm a curious person by heart and love to break and build stuff. I love this community for all the deep insights, discussions and inspirations. But I have chosen a different career path for various reasons which I now begin to regret. I have finished an undergraduate degree in business administration with a focus on information technology and management (most definitely more soft skill) and then have started a law degree (as well as philosophy).
I cannot take law anymore. I know that I don't really want to have a job in such a field. But I turn 25 in May. I am a quick study, still, finishing an engineering degree (either mechanical or electrical, I find them both equally exciting) with a masters will approximately take me 5 years. Then I am 30.
I am afraid that this is "too old" and future employees could disdain my path.
Please advise, I will gladly take any input and/or feedback.
Kind regards.
