Yes, but one thing I’ve found that makes it *somewhat* less overwhelming is that you gradually learn ways to extract the key useful ideas from a foreign field much more efficiently. What would have taken an FTE year of study as an undergrad can be compressed into a month

There are a few advantages to being old. Overall I can’t recommend it, but there are compensations.

I feel like getting old at least beats the currently available alternatives
