Going back to school at 23
A direction, not a prediction — read through the Chinese lens.
The direction
You do not need the whole road. You need the next hundred metres.
No account, no card. One question, one direction.
In someone's own words
“I’m going back to chool to major in p ychology to eventually become a therapi t,but man do I feel behind tarting my undergrad at 23 when everyone i already graduating at thi age, I won’t have my ma ter degree until about 30-31i h and idk if that’ too late to fini h chool idk if I’ll be o far...”

What this question usually is
- Feeling behind is usually a comparison problem, not a progress problem.
- The map you are reading was drawn for someone else's start.
- Most people are not lost. They are just reading the wrong sign.
