Superior IQs associated with mental and physical disorders, research suggests

When I was 30 (3 years ago) I was in the exact same position as you, to the tee. I decided to go BACK to school and get another bachelor's degree in something I actually cared about even though I already had a master's.

Now I'm in my second year in a PhD program in a biomedical program.

Point is: a lot of us start to feel like we made a mistake and it's too late to fix.

Came from a working class rural background. I was in gifted streams but they finished when I was 12. My high school was more focused on keeping troubled students in line than helping gifted ones. Finished school and got a trade. Never felt happy.

At age 30, started comp sci at uni. Best decision I ever made. It fixed the "mistakes" I made in my life choices
