Same. I went back to school pretty late in the game and had just been dicking around at community college for years. I got serious about it in my late 20’s, graduated when I was 30, got a job within a month out of college, had my loans paid off within like 2-4 years. I’m making more money than I’ve ever made in my life and probably earning more than my parents ever did. It was quite possibly the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. A lot of it was probably just pure luck, but it worked out well for me.
Oh absolutely good luck brought the opportunities that have been presented to me but good decision making and a good attitude allowed me to seize the opportunities I’ve seized and bad attitude plus bad decision making caused me to squander the opportunities that were presented to me but ultimately shook their heads at me and left. I get the feeling that commenter above me may be doing the latter right now.
