No way, you're never to old. Obtaining a degree is the best thing
anyone can do. Especially in the current climate. By the time you've
graduated the IT industry with be in full swing again. I graduated
when I was 24... I'm now 28, but it was the best decision I ever made.
You'll never regret having a Degree.
Cheers,
