“Older” grad students (let’s say 35+, but I really mean any Masters/PhD student who had a established career prior to starting grad studies) What are some of the pros and cons related to starting this experience as a “mature student”? Add to thread by replying or RT with comment

Started PhD at 39. Mostly pros echoing others. But one CON: Felt my age as a disadvantage for the first time when on the job market - was told by one search member "we just want to hire someone young." Also now I'm faculty my cohort still a lot younger - miss friends my own age.
