It's never too late. Even if someone doesn't go to college right out of high school it's never too late to start. It should be a personal choice, as you mentioned, where it's both affordable and sought after enough to get through it. It's a hell of a lot of work, but the personal drive is what makes it worth while. If there's an area where you wish you had more knowledge, go after a four-year study in that area and watch your intellect flourish. If you wish to pursue knowledge that's obtainable outside of a college degree, that's equally as awesome. It's a personal choice for everyone.
