subject: When is it too Late for a Science and Technology Course? [print this page] But investing in a course in science and technology requires serious commitment and capacity and motivation are not one in the same. Do as much research as you can into the science or technology course that you want to pursue and see if you can find someone in that field who can answer some of your questions. Better yet, ask them to allow you to shadow them for a day. Studies show that it takes at least 10 000 hours to become an expert at anything, so realise that you will need time to become proficient in your new career and above all, remember that it's never too late to learn anything.
