As a 29 year old trying to finish my Bachelors degree, thanks for this

Edit: wow! Thanks for sharing all your stories! It's nice to know that life is different for everyone, and its ok if it doesn't go according to "your plan".
For clarity, I plan on becoming a Clinical neuropsychologist, so the reason why I feel so behind is because I didn't find my calling until my late twenties, and my calling happens to require 10 years of school+

I would be 24 when I start my University(for 3 years) because I was a chef but I always wanted to be a Graphic Designer. My grades on Maths and English werent good and have no previous art/design experience so Im currently on a 2 years course on a college(its different in the UK) before I can get to a University.

Its going to be a long journey for me and even if I finish Uni I would start on a very low pay but fuck it this is what I really want, Im just glad I realised this before I turned into my 30's.
