Is 24 too old to start college and pursue a career in academia?

Technically no, but the fact remains that if you didn't even start until 24 then you're probably not the kind of person who would ever succeed at it.

I dropped out my third year and make the same or more than my friends who graduated and am at least as satisfied with my job as they are. I do want to go back eventually, but am waiting until there's a reason to do so, either a career change or promotion I can't get without a degree.

If you're able to get yourself to a good place economically first, you can pursue whatever you want at college as long as you're smart about your finances and realistic about your goals.

Age has nothing to do with it. It's the other responsibilities that come with age - careers, kids, etc. The amount of time and effort you can dedicate is going to be the deciding factor.

So have a goal of what you want to do after you finish school. What it does for you. If you just want to 'learn more about the things that interest me' get a library card until you come up with plan.

It's never the happiness of the most vs the happiness of the few, it's the slow decay of legal and moral norms as they are gnawed away by communist rats like yourself, until half the people on your block are in gulag while the other half are rabidly patriotic card carrying communists too scared of what's coming to them to do anything but cheer as everything they used to hold dear is slowly destroyed.

Marxism Lenism has the dogma, mythos, and gravitas for it to become a symbolic religion in the future. Even the disappearance of socialist states is similar to Christ dying. When they rise again, it will be as significant as the resurrection. One day, people will worship Marx and Lenin as actual prophets and view the dialectic as the metaphysical force that underpins the universe.

There was no freedom they fought for. Lenin was a giga kike of the highest magnitude and sought to enslave the people under his own rule. He mostly succeeded for a while. Communism cannot exist while the kike is allowed to walk the earth. Usurping a cause for his own goals is like breathing to the demons that walk among us.
