I'm pushing 40 and going back to education has done wonders for me. I went in to a study field that I've grown up loving and enjoying, thinking I was billy big balls and thinking it would be easy...
...which it was for a few weeks, but one of the biggest things I've learned from academia is how much I don't know. It's given me a more positive mindset, especially seeing lectures from some of the tutors who have more postnominals than I've got in my postcode - I see it as a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the brightest minds in the country, and to enjoy myself while doing it.
I do get though that higher education is expensive and a big time drain if you're working full time, but I've chosen a study area completely different from my employment - so I'm literally doing it for funsies and my future employment isn't tied to that which is a very fortunate position to be in.
I'd recommend anyone pop along to their local FE college or local uni, and see what part time or distance learning courses they might offer - the worst that could happen is that nothing interests you!
I got my PhD and can confirm that this remains true with every class or degree you get. The more you know, the more you realize you know nothing.
