As someone who finished their bachelors in their 30's, I think you're completely right about this. Every day you put off college/grad school makes it a bit harder to get back into it.

In grad school now I feel like I'm playing a perpetual game of catchup; I have a mortgage and whatnot to pay, so I have to work full time, meaning I have to spend hours every night studying. If I had done school before I was too entrenched in anything, it would have been much easier. On the plus side, at least I don't have to worry about student loans, since I go to a public university and have a decent salary.
