I graduated at 26. It’s now 4 years later, and I had to literally use a calculator to count how old I was. I say this to emphasize how little I care now, in contrast to how embarrassed I was at the time. I am now in law school at 30. Most of the people around me are 3-5 years younger, and it doesn’t matter at all. Nobody treats me differently or excludes me. Lots of people change careers all of the time. The needs of the economy change and you do your best. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be insulated from the state of the economy. Sometimes people are unemployed, or experiencing health crises, or helping their family. We all have our own issues and run our own race, and it’s better to make progress than be stagnant.
