You have already gained first important professional experiences, you are enjoying a certain level of living comfort far away from the chaos of flat shares and you often have the money you need to afford a higher standard of living. You have arrived in your 30s. However, that is no reason to stop studying. It is actually not uncommon to re-orientate yourself professionally or to study for the first time after you have cracked the 30 mark.<\/p>\n<p>Are you just wondering whether studying at 30, 40 or 50 is the right step or whether you are already too old to study?

Immediately after school, you are often overwhelmed with the wide range of options. Many young people do not know what they want to do after graduation or make big compromises when choosing a degree. Most of the time you only really get to know yourself with increasing years of life and work experience. You are more likely to know your talents, what you expect from life and have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat every day work should look like for you. You already found out what you don&#8217;t want (anymore) and that is perhaps the most important point.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing a study programme at that age is usually more carefully considered because there are some obstacles to overcome. However, this is alright because the probability is very high that the course content actually fits your own interests.

If you fear that university will be more difficult as an \u201coldie\u201d and that you will attract unwanted attention in the classroom, we want you to drop these worries. Do not compare yourself to others, just look at yourself and your experience. Have you already successfully completed an apprenticeship, worked or made up for your Matura during that time? Have you done your bachelor&#8217;s degree, worked a few years and are now adding your master&#8217;s degree? Are you continuing your education in a completely new area because your previous actual career aspiration did not suit you &#8211; for whatever reason? Great, be proud of yourself! Share your experiences, because everyone can benefit from it. This also applies to you: Moving in a younger and at the same time more dynamic environment can be a great enrichment. Try to be open to what your fellow students can give you and what you can give them. In addition, you are certainly not the only person in the lecture hall who participates in the \u201cStudying 30 plus\u201d project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-41246adb82eb20f9271331161b8c66cb hr-short  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-60022e-3056b2e5cc65feac7318f4cf52b2daee '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"Part-time courses: If not you, then who?\">Part-time courses: If not you, then who?<\/h2>\n<p>Many universities and technical colleges offer part-time courses and some even do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distancelearningportal.com\/countries\/3\/austria.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">distance learning<\/a>. This way you can continue your work and keep a steady income during this time. This category of study programs is more likely to appeal to people with professional experience and is particularly recommended if you want to study without changing your entire rhythm of life. Educational leave or part-time training can also be agreed with the employer and is aimed at anyone who does not want to give up their job while they are continuing their education. Studying doesn&#8217;t need to change your entire life.

This is not always easy since we are creatures of habit. Your interest in the learning content however, should motivate you to find solutions for every obstacle. Perhaps you can get a part-time job through your professional network that pays a decent hourly wage. Perhaps you have been able to save yourself a small amount through your first jobs or you are in a supportive partnership. Your life experience will help you find a solution.

They live in small shared apartments, where it is never really clean. People go out for every happy hour, even if there is a lecture the next morning.<br \/>\nThis may sound rather unsexy when you are already over 30 and it might be hard to identify if you&#8217;re used to a certain standard of living. However, keep in mind that we are talking about a clich\u00e9 that some, but by no means all, students fulfill.

Because being over 30 also means you don\u2019t have too much time thinking about starting a family. The desire to have a family of your own is of course not uncommon in this phase of life. Maybe you already have a family and you doubt whether you can meet all demands. The fact that you are exposed to a double burden should certainly not be overlooked. However, some universities and colleges have their own kindergartens. Perhaps you have a partner or grandma and grandpa, who can support you. Solutions can definitely be found, if your deepest desire is to start studying. In an emergency, however, you can also wait a year if your family situation does not currently allow it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-b7cd540a398340c3eda01802fa2a0fa1 hr-short  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-60022e-53bb3d26fdc2272bcdd40065ab042c11 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We were able to provide you with a few powerful arguments for studying in your 30`s ?
