I completed my secondary School Education in 2014 and since then I've been Applying for the Nigeria Armed forces recruitments,i had wrote their Aptitude Test Exams like 8 to 9 times before i eventually passed the Airforce Exams for 2017.

i went for their Physical screening in Kaduna,we undergo staunch health Screening."Thier medical facilities there are Top notch o"..anyway,i was disqualified for ill health reason,(i have a short sightedness),with tears in my eye i inform my Dad who had been very supportive the news.


To cut my story short,i had been doing some work i don't really like since i gave up Career in the Nigeria Armed force.I am determined to go back to the university and study Law,,i know my parents would be glad to know i had came up with this idea but I'm thinking at 23?..IS IT POSSIBLE..i need your advise pls

Allow me tell a tale to reply.. To the question

1. The old man who acted in the matrix trilogy acted the top three films of his career at when he had almost considered retiring, at almost about 70 years


2. A British woman, a grandma was trying to swim across the Atlantic to make a world record. As she was engaging in the act, the tides became so strong, that she gave up, when she was pulled out of the water, she noticed she was just 15 minutes away from her desire. Guess what she did, she tried again the second year, when she reached around the same spot she experienced a tide, she thought it to herself as a challenge and put more effort. She ended up making it. When she came out, she said never too old to chase your dream. She was around 60-70.

Point is, you're the one checking your performance against the calendar. If no one has placed limitations on you, don't place them on yourself.

Go for it. I have cousins signing up for medicine even at 25. So you're not too young, not too late. You're where you're ready to be to make the most of your life experiences towards your objective


And do remember, life's a process, just like a bicycle, to maintain balance, we must keep moving

I knew one 39 year old who had written JAMB 11 different times who started studying Law at OAU in 2001.

So at 23, you are at a very good stage
Intellectually emotionally and socially to excel at school.

Op this moniker has answered all you seek. Let me add to what he or she had said, clear your doubt about the impression of age is not on my side.

Yes, very possible, you can still go back to school and even graduate before 30, if you are able to gain admission next year.

Career part is determination.

Wish you success

Bro... I entered university at 23 and that's about 7years after secondary school.

Hustling and learning all those while.

OP, make up your mind and do whatever you believe it's good for you.

Yes, if there's the intrinsic motivation to return to school, go back and do well.

You may come out and get a job or get so good you create jobs.

But go back only if you're really ready to weather it all through.
