I went back to college (attended a technical college) at 25 (I think it was? I can't remember lol) and had multiple classmates twice my age. Its not too late unless you decide its too late!
Plus the best part about going back to college after being in the workforce already is employers feel less like they're taking a risk with you than if you're 20/22, so you absolutely can hit the ground running. I graduated about 3 years ago and I've already landed myself a job as a system administrator, and my older classmates are doing higher level project management type roles, and that all comes primarily because we have a decade or more of job experience under our belts, even if its not necessarily in the industry (one of my classmates was a sheriff before he went back for example)
