One might even go further and read this headline as "Old fart is pretending to go to school", at least that is the subtext. I kind of hear you, but I also don't quite believe you. For some it is definitely possible, but most people with that age actually dont have enough cognitive abilities left to acquire a degree. Heck, I know 35 year olds which would need a degree to be able to persue their dream job, but I am very doubtful they will even summon up the courage (and intelligence, for that matter).
