pursuing chemistry as a major
« on: January 28, 2016, 02:27:05 PM »
Hey everyone I am new to the forum.

A little about myself:
I was fascinated by science starting in middle school and had great grades. Never took a Chemistry class in highschool, I did graduate HS  though. I've always been a science person interested in all matter that exists in our world and how to understand it. I'm 25 now and I decided to take the step of pursuing Chemistry as a major. My question is, is it to late?

A little advise from you guys would be great to hear.

Currently in my first Chemistry undergraduate class at a community college and wow I felt at home.

Thank you.  ;D

Are you actually asking if 25 is too old to be studying Chemistry???
If so then I can categorically state no.
And you can take that from someone who started learning it considerably older than that.
Considerably!  ;D

I went back to university to start undergrad Chemistry at the tender age of 39.
At 42 I was hired for a 12 month industrial placement.
I am now 46 and in the final year of my PhD.
You are not starting too late.

Hope that helps.
