I am 44 year old and will be going back for my PhD. You are never too old to learn. Usually people that make that statement are either ignorant or just uneducated. I teach nursing and have often taught students in their 60's. Do yourself a favor and continue to learn...
I just started as new Staff Development Coordinator with a salary quote of 55,000. I am quite happy with this as it is what I have strived to do. I will be completing my MSN/ED in December and hope to get an increase. It is a higher income than working the floor and it is day shift....enough said!
