<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am working as a software engineer for the last 8 years. I am 30 years old and have a BS in "Computer Science" and a MS in "Software Systems". I have always been interested in Medical science and was thinking of getting a phd in Biomedical engineering. I was looking for some answers/advice in this forum as this will be a huge step for me:</p>
<p>a) Is it too late to start a phd in a different field? By the time i apply and start studying, I would be 32 years old.
b) My BS and MS is in different fields. Would that impact in any way?
c) I will be in my end thirties when i get the degree. Would my experience in the software industry count or would that be just a waste?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
