There are really few people who get a master's degree at the age of 40, mostly before the age of 30. But it is still possible to study for a doctorate at the age of 40, which is not an anecdote. I am a "senior" much older than me. Because my home is in a small place, considering my children's future development, I studied for a master's degree at the age of 30, a doctor at the age of 35, and then went to college as a teacher. When she was a doctor, the child was 10 years old.
