Is graduating at 28 too late?

[u/Aromatic_Proof8420]

So, I'm a 22 year old EU citizen living in Belgium, and I'm looking to do the BA (Honours) Language Studies. Given that I'm financially independent and living on my own, I can't afford to do the course in three or even four years, and I don't want to use credit or loans to finance my studies. I'm looking into scholarships offered where I live, but I'm not confident that I would qualify, since I'm not a Belgian citizen and I would be studying through an UK institutions. So, my best option financially would be to study part-time, over 6 years, which would also be easier to balance with work and life. However, the thought of getting an online degree at only 28, leaves me concerned about job prospects. Right now, I work in hospitality, and although I could raise in it over the next years, I don't know if my experience would look favorably. OU is by far the best institution offering online degrees, all EU initiatives are mostly national and don't have the same structure, support and community that OU has, so I would really like to hear some thoughts.

God it's as bad as the travel subreddits in here with people in their 20s fretting they're old to experience anything.

Must be horrible to be young right now with all the misinforming grifters everywhere online.
