So, hopefully I've posted this to the right subreddit (newbie). A bit of back story; 30 male kiwi. Was in New Zealand working at a bank for a number of years, not ambitious and was a bit complacent with the job. Paid well, wasn't hard. Decided I needed a change and bought a one way ticket to this side of the world about a year ago. 

After travelling to Germany and Canada, now been in London for 3 months. Finding it very hard to get a job (don't have a qualification, my last position didn't leave me with many transferrable skills). Was kind of looking for a change in career too. Banking is quite boring. 

In high school, was in the advanced class through the years there and kind of feel like I have wasted my life not getting a degree and finding a career. A lot of my friends now are very successful in their respective fields. Whereas I really feel like a failure.

I still can't really nail down what I want to study, and am quite nervous about it at the same time. Currently I have a temp job for a month and am thinking about going to Germany for higher education as tuition is basically free and I'd like to learn more Deutsch.

Am I too old for college? Would I fit in ok with younger peeps? Should I not worry too much about getting a degree? Would I be better off starting again?
