When do you stop pursing higher education?

Hello All,

This is sort of an odd question, but I would like to know at what point do you stop pursing higher education, I am asking at what age. Before you answer please look at my background first,

I am a 26, almost 27 years old male. Life after High school has not been kind to me, after High School I did not have any prospect about what I want to do with my life, the High School administration did not help nor did my family, they also never had faith in me. I worked for about 4 and a half years at McDonalds which made me hate my life, I finally went back to school to earn my associates degree in Information Technology, which was able to get my foot in the door to a decent job as a Systems Administrator for a Healthcare company. However unfortunately the place I got my Assoicates Degree ended up closing down, roughly a year after I graduated, which derailed my plans to earn a bachelor's degree forcing me to start over as a goal of mine is to earn a bachelor's degree. I finally made the decision to go back to school start over and get a bachelor's degree back in 2020 as a part time online student, I probably won't finish my undergrad until I am about 31 which is fine with me.

Now fast forward to what I have been thinking about lately, it took me a while to really figure out what I want to really do with my life, I enjoy working in the Technology field and I love learning new things as I have always been a believer in pursing higher education. I have looked at the possibility of getting a master's degree and maybe a Doctoral Degree, as for the first time in my life I know what I would like to do, but it may take me a long time, but my overall question here is if I were to even consider that I may not finish by the time I'm in my later 30s, is there a certain point you need to stop pursing higher education or is not unusual for people to earn higher degrees at 30s or 40s?

Please let me know,

Thank you,
