Am I too old for this career choice?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am I too old for this career choice?

I am 33 years old, and have just recently returned to school. I am working towards an Associates of Business with concentration in Criminal Justice. And then on to my Bachelors in Criminal Justice with concentration in Forensic Science. My family has been razzing me about my age and entering into a criminal justice field, saying I'm too old, and may not meet age requirements. I want to work in a forensics lab.....do they have an age limit?

You're never too old to follow your heart and do what makes you happy.

If you want to go get your Bachelors in Criminal Justice, by all means go for it. Don't let anyone stand in your way.

Good luck and glad to help!

You're not trying to become a police patrol officer, so there is no age limit to consider. I'm sure your family cares, but they haven't a clue.

Not for a lab rat, no. Only age restrictions would be for street cop.

Don't listen to Kevin... he's just being nice.

Hell yeah you are too old... you are too old for most things. Also please don't have a child. And you are also too old to get married. Just give up.

Your only as old as you feel, I am 30 going on 12 and am also just getting started on a bachelors degree. Never give up and only surrender upon death. I hope to always be a student.

You are never too old for an education and even a career change.
