Crisis - Going back to uni as a mature student at 24

Linear paths are overrated - if you can afford to go back and do your dream degree, do it! Life's too short to not follow your dreams, especially when you are young enough to have the passion to do so. If the architecture degree includes some research work or a disertation it could even be interesting to look at the psychology of space, using your existing degree to flavour your career going forward.

Yeah okay, I guess I am worried because I will be 25/26 if I start this year or next year, and most people will be 18/19 and architecture is a hard industry to get into. It is very brutal and competitive.

Hi everyone,
During 2020, I started a degree in architecture and structural engineering at Sheffield Uni. Due to a variety of personal and mental health issues and me believing life is short I ended up dropping out and doing psychology at King's. (I thought I wanted to be a doctor after and realised it isn't what I want lmao). Upon graduating, I thought I wanted to go into research and science comms. I even got a couple of small jobs in these, but it was hard to get a job without a masters, so I am currently doing a masters in public health at Imperial. I'm not a massive fan of the public health degree but I will finish it even though my mental health and personal issues have flared up again. I have realised that I should have never quit architecture or design because I truly love creating, not mathematics/doing calculations all day. Now I am debating whether I should apply/do a design/architecture degree. I'm not sure whether I should do an undergrad in architecture or a postgrad in some kinda design. Help, I am not sure what to do, I feel like I have messed my life up. (I am 24 for reference and I know that's young it's just most people I know followed a linear path and have been working and for the most part like what they do).
I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks,
