I'm 27, am I too old to start a new education that will likely last at least 5+ years?

Hello!

I've been trying to finish various engineering programmes in university because I've been told it's the best thing to do for money, but I've never really been interested nor motivated, so I've stagnated for years and gotten into debt. I've been working off and on in sales and I absolutely hate it.

I want an education, and I want something I'm genuinly interested in (primarily biology), so something like a bachelor in biomedicine (or maybe even biotech if I have to choose engineering) and then specialize with a masters. The problem is I feel like I'm getting old, already 27 with nothing to show for it, and if my education lasts 5 years, I'd be 32 by the time I'm finished; a licentiate or a PhD would make me even older.

I'm getting kinda depressed, and I'm not sure what to do. Am I getting too old to start working on a research oriented education?

In case it matters I'm Swedish.

Thanks.

You’ll be 32.... and then have like... what, at least 50 more years to live out life in whatever career that is! That’s a lot of time!!  

Isn’t that better than.. spending the next 54 years in one you don’t like as much?
