I’m thinking of going back to school to study horticulture. One thing holding me back is that I despise academia and what it has become, such as rackets (e.g., text books, fees, grade inflation …) that are embedded in it.

The other thing is my age - I’m starting to feel my age (emotionally & mentally more so than physically). My quantitative ability is slipping, and my tolerance for “kids” (anyone under 30) is less than it’s ever been.

This past year I’ve had a bit of epiphany about age and where I’m at on the curve of life. It’s not all bad, but it is sobering.

Go for it! Horticulture is going to be a good field in the years to come, IMHO.
