This was going to be true even without going back to school FWIW. Even if you go in at 18 there’s going to be rich international (and domestic, but more likely with international) students who have never worked a day in their life and probably won’t after graduating. Do you and don’t worry about how long it took you to get around to it.
Get hyped, by virtue of not being a baby fresh out of high school you are now one of the cool students! I have a few family members that are teachers and they say that older students are usually the teachers’ favorites because they are so motivated. I try to use my position as an old dude to show the youngins it’s okay to ask questions and not know things, and to get excited about stuff. But I’ve also met a lot more people my age and older than I thought I would!
