I don't think age is so much an issue as needing to be realistic about money. You say you already have student loans and you would have to go "forever" to get a psych degree and Masters. Sometimes psych majors even with a Masters do not make much money per year. If you are going to be 100K+ in student loan debt and only going to earn 27K a year as a school counselor that may not be a choice you want to make. I know everyone always says sure go to more and more and more school screw money. In some cases, I agree. In other cases, I think you have to consider earning potential and total debt. If your finances are solid and you don't have that many student loans and you can work out a program where it won't cost you that much I say go for it.
Yeah, you have a point.
