Age is but a number and so many gorgeous abbes are proving that. One African honey has decided to get her Master's at the age of 35 and feels it is a perfect time. Each and every life path is different and that is why we cannot, and should not, benchmark or progress against another’s.
LinkedIn user Pearl Sthabile Ndlovu took to her timeline to let the world know that this boss babe is getting her Master's. Yes, honey!
Knowing the judgement some have felt when returning to university, or even just starting, at an ‘older age’, Pearl wanted to make it clear that there is no time limit on getting an education.
“I am 35 years... I have gone back to school for my Master's. I did not fall behind nor am I late. The timing is divinely perfect ”

“But no one pressured you to mention your age. You could have just gone back and did your Master's without mentioning your age... unless it perturbs you? I am completing my PhD at 38... never mentioned my age before because it does not matter.”

“Oh the folly of youth, lol. Your achievement is your very own journey to greatness - we see you, we need you, you're inspiring!!! I went to GATECH at 64 full-time with brilliant young people like you. It was brutal, I'm not gonna lie, but the sense of accomplishment - I became a peer-reviewed co-author, I worked with a Nobel Laureate, and I made my STEM husband so proud. We are overly focused on age in our culture. I have a Master's but my real job is to apply it to climate change because the earth doesn't care about my age. Let's do this.”
