How old is "too old" to go to grad school?

I normally try to ignore Seedy's sniping, but just in case I've not pointed this out in the main forum:  I'm not an HR person, have never been an HR person, don't want to be an HR person, and in truth hate HR people as much as the rest of you do.

Yeah, and you don't eat out of gas stations all the time either.

Another factor not mentioned is your probability of actually finishing your degree.  It's not going to be 100% for everyone.

"Anti-intellectual" is, ironically, a label applied without a great deal of critical thought.

You still bitch too much about it.  If you're not anti-intellectual, you're certainly pro-bitch.

I'm not taking any lessons from Professor Shareholder Value about what I might "bitch too much about."

Bitching about losing your job and forced to move back in with Mom > Bitching about higher education when you have a law degree.

Sorry, puddytat, but you've got no standing.  LOLZ, Con Law.

Unless that Master's means a guaranteed higher-paying paper-pushing job I'd consider not bothering. Get a library card and/or take a community college class here or there.

Can you not do it part-time?

I'm not sure how a headhunter gets to look down at HR folks anyway.

"Anti-intellectual" is, ironically, a label applied without a great deal of critical thought.  It's not "anti-intellectual" to demand that supply of humanities-degree holders (indeed, all degree holders) be constrained to meet demand, so that the student debt crisis be ameliorated.

Your position may not be "anti-intellectual," but it's sure as fuck anti-human.

Ide has the same problem as Mono, in that he doesn't see learning as something with a value in its own right

You know that's a mischaracterization of my arguments.

Is it? As far as I know there are affordable degrees out there - hell even ones you can complete while working.

Certifications are the new hotness for a shitload of industries now;  affordable, and designed for working adults, i.e., provided online.

Actually I don't think I've done that in a while now.

I've been on kind of a health kick lately.  Cutting back on carbs and going to the gym all the time... I just got back from the gym an hour or so ago.

Doesn't matter, Languish never forgets. Kinda like Katmai directing porno movies.

Or Teach doing...

Mama-say mama-sah ma-ma-coosah.

That's exactly what I've been doing.
