Nope, you're not - I've been studying Psychology through the OU (for non-UK readers that's The Open University, a university here that specialises in distance-learning degrees, part-time), and I'm 46. That means that studying part-time my BSc (Hons) will take six years in total, so I hope to graduate in 2016. If I am eligible to take a Master's degree, add on four more.
Will I be too old to work at 52? I sincerely doubt it - the way the world is right now, we'll all probably be working 'til we drop :-) The question is whether the openings will be there, and nobody knows, but with a qualification it should improve my chances, if so. The way I look at it is that even if I don't want to/can't get a job in psychology directly, it's such a valuable addition to my current career which involves a lot of working with people, that I can hardly go wrong. And it keeps the old brain ticking!
