Tried for my first one at the turn of 30, that didn't work out.

Got my first one a little into my 40's, got the second one just before my 50s.

How can 25 be old when most students are 22 or 23 when they complete their Bachelor's?

I started on my night-school MBA in my mid-20's. Working full time and having a young family caused me to stop when about 1/3 to 1/2 done.

Started on my MS in Engineering at age 38 and received my degree at age 41, also a night-school program.

I'll be 26. I don't see how 25 is too old because as someone else pointed out, people who go from high school to college typically graduate at 23.

I'll be 40. I started it at 38, after working for 15 years in fields related to my bachelor's degree. My master's is in a different discipline.

I was 28. 25 isn't old at all, and some might think that's even too young (depending on your field) because it suggests very little work experience before the degree. In some fields, that's not a problem. Others prefer work experience before the higher degree.
