/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm a 28 year old boomer who wasted his life doing retarded jobs instead of finishing college. I have like 2 semesters completed so basically nothing.

I really love physics and will sometimes help people I know with their physics homework or problems.

Is there any sort of hope or point for someone like me to go back to school?. I would want to do research not teaching but I don't want to saddle myself with debt and struggle through college while working if nobody is going to take some loser in his 30's over a young face fresh out of college.

Honest answers please.
