How old is "too late to start studying science"?

[Anonymous No.7358893]

10 years old.
I'm serious

[Anonymous No.7358923]

for a college education lel

I don't know, i'm 24 now and I found out it's too late to learn anything new. My mind is like a sponge. Whatever goes in can go easily out if you put some pressure on it. I wish I was smart.

[Anonymous No.7358963]

>>7358875
never

I think that hard and honest work can do the trick in turning that sponge into a...vacuum cleaner? I suppose.

I really dont think so, I spend alot of my youth drinking alcohol and doing other drugs and I just never was as smart as my brothers and sisters. I still like to lurk and post occasionally but I can never be a real scientist

I know a few grads who started relatively late, but they`re doing great. Just stay motivated if that is what you really love. You can`t blame your past forever.

Perhaps instead of finding excuses, you should find motivation.

But she wrote that thesis when she was 25.

[Anonymous No.7359112]

Gonna get my BS in chem next year and I'll be 20 then. I want to do physics instead. Should I go study physics after or is it too late?

[Anonymous No.7359113]

>>7359073
Ok, what kind of motivation could someone with a damaged brain and an IQ of 120 get for mastering science?

[Anonymous No.7359115]

When you are on your death bed.

If you want to troll people then solve a some mathematical or physics problem. Then when you are on your death bed, write down that you can solve some other problem without showing how and then die.

Thanks Fermat .

[Anonymous No.7359132]

>>7359088
but she had to learn it all again at 102 to defend the thesis

With those conditions, you are probably shit at every other jobs so you might as well do science if you love it. If you think you are at the bottom then it couldn't get any worse so just do what the fuck you like.

[Anonymous No.7359144]

im not here to coddle you

Just do what you are passionate about and that is all that matters. You`ll see results eventually.

Behing a spong is a good thing, do you know how hard it is do get a sponge rid of all its water ? Way harder than getting it wet.

Actually, my mom suffer from an age-related inheritable disease that makes it impossible for her cunt to get wet past the age of 40.

So no, but commendable attempt.

Well we peak at 25 but the decline is slow.

I've met successful people who got their degree at 30 and do R&D. Motivation is key.
