I got a Ph.D. at age 66 (2018)
Very inspiring to highlight education and learning is lifelong. Ph.D. even though symbolism (not really needed if only aim is knowledge assimilation and creation through learning), will serve as a big boost in confidence for middle age workers, who think there aren’t enough opportunities for them.<p>Also Ph.D. gives chances to work with younger people keeping middle and older generations more active and alive.<p>I hope to continue learning in my middle and old age like the post, not sure of Ph.D. though. But may consider if it opens a way for me to work alongside young researchers can learn new things from them and feel alive.
