I just recently graduated with my Master's Degree and jokingly made a comment about going to get my PhD. Someone close to me pointed out that I will soon be 36 and that I would be either 39 or 40 by the time I got my PhD.

I have been struggling with this because I do not have any children and it doesn't seem like that's in my future. I was one of the oldest students in my cohort for my Master's program, but I did not care too much. I never thought 36 was too old for a PhD program, but I could be wrong.
