>MS should be done at 22

Close, Dutch. If you do applied math or applied physics there is a lot of opportunities in industry where a Ph.D is massively helpful.

Typically the work is such that even a MSc student could manage it but the Ph.D adds prestige to the firm and you get paid more.

sometimes life happens

i started uni at 33, starting 3rd yr in september, doing und. research now

ill probably be 38-39 when i start a phd (if i do a phd) and desu if you let age be an obstacle, it will be

ive done all kinds of shitjobs and doing this stuff now just feels right, whereas i see postdocs who've only gone to uni and never had a proper job and can barely stand doing a 9-5 shift

>delusional people failing at school and believing school is bad and they are intelligent

>old
lol Ironically you haven't actually done anything useful with your PhD, and probably not gonna be able to, just like stated in the OP. How I know this:

is right. The quality of your thesis, the influence of your advisor and your faculty's reputation are the only things that matter if you want to "make use of your PhD", infinitely more than "age" because age doesn't matter at all when applying for postdoc, which you obviously haven't.
