I'm 33, with a PhD, a full time job, a start up on the side, and I am still in tertiary education. I'll be in the library this evening. I'm fine with this. I think I'll do an MBA next.

Ye good folk States-side need to quit slamming on 'college education' and start complaining about the 'costs of education'. Education is just learning. Maybe some sources of education are better than others, and in particular for some fields, but you shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, and keep railing against university, which really just opens up opportunities, and lets somebody who knows more than you choose what you should learn.

Although, to qualify, I choose graded self-study courses where possible, because I'm kinda a dick as a student.
