I'm currently 27 (1989) and i'm considering applying to an education in psychology wich lasts 5 years and gives me a masters degree.
Am I to old to be considering this? I live in a rather small village in Sweden where you're like kinda just supposed to get a job at a factory and have kids and buy a house and pay mortgage for the rest of your life.
My father thinks im stupid for even considering it, i'm too old etc.
So, am I? :/
I really want a job that I enjoy, and i've had to go through a serious depression before, so i feel studying to be a psychologist would suite me quite well. I'm good with words and can handle almost anyone i come across.

Are you a grill? if so I claim you

Thanks, but no thanks..
And i'm a dude.
You're never too old to go back to school. People change careers in their 50s ffs.
You only get one life, don't let anyone else live it for you. Do you really want to spend it in a factory doing a job you hate just because your dad said to?

I think it has something to do with guilt. Like on the other hand i want to do what i want to, but on the other i want to make my family "proud"..

If getting an education and finding happiness doesn't make your family proud of you then their opinions are shit.
Im 27 now and currently studying also, plan to be finished at 31..
There are heaps are people out there changing careers much later in life than us dude. Dont let anything hold you back because you'll always wonder 'what if' if you dont act on your ideas

Do it, bro. I'm in Central Europe and considering the exactly same thing - psychology. Do it!
Absolutely do it, I'm 32 and currently studying psychology. Wish I'd started much earlier but never too late to switch careers.
