I'm 50, and I'm hoping to take a (temporary? permanent?) break from my career later this year to do a Masters in US history. My application only went in a couple of weeks ago so I'm still waiting to hear.
A little apprehensive about being 25+ years older than the other students (and some of the professors), but perhaps it will be good for this cynical, world-weary middle-aged grump to be exposed to some woke, youthful, bright-eyed idealism.
