Too real. Life comes at you fast
Exactly breh. I always say time goes by so fast, if you look to the future, you'll be in the present
Men have an expiration date too.... When it comes to a career

You get pigeon holed real quick in whatever is on your resume after 5 years.
Its hard to start a new career at 30 making top dollar, they are going to pay you like a junior role. And that choice is going to be between you and a million other college kids.

Experience to a certain degree trumps raw certs/pure education much of the time. Do you want a driver that just passed his driver's exam or do you want The Transporter?
Career changes are hard, but as long as you have experience prior to the jump over, you should be fine.
With any field change though, you have to be willing to take a hefty pay cut to get in which may not be advisable....I considered psychology or forensics, but I am not living like a college student again or giving up on the career I fought for.....

Yes and no.... 
the idea that you cannot start a flourishing career when your older does not always hold true...

Same for my mom except she was teacher and stopped at getting her masters. she's kinda hit a patch though, the VA she worked for blackmailed her
One piece advice I'd give to the young brehs fresh out of college is to never stay in one role longer than three years unless you plan to be doing that shyt long term.
Try different roles early in your career. You don't want to look up at 37 and be doing the exact same shyt you were doing at 22!

How old are you
just turned 23
I disagree with this post. Your never to old to do anything in life. As long as your focused and determined at what you want to do you'll be fine. I've seen my uncle go from being in and out of jail from his 20's and 30's to owning his own landscaping company in his 40's and doing well for himself. Your only expired to the limitations you bring to yourself. Age ain't nothing but a number
Depends on the person, I got a friend who it seemed like it was over for, his last chance was the Fire Department and they never called him back. He started driving for Uber & Amazon Flex, which gave him the idea for his business which is basically foolproof and could make him a millionaire in a very very short time. I want him to put me on, but he's not taking any investors, he's fully funding it with credit cards & cash, and when I say it can't fail I mean it really cant unless he just doesn't push for it.
