I feel the same when I consider some of the people in my life that aren’t originally from the US. The general sentiment there is that once you graduated or trained for something once then, well, that’s it. You’re done and shouldn’t try to break into anything new, you’re just not cut out for it. That feeling seems to spill over into our interpersonal relationships when I mention things like “oh, it might be interesting to one day try <X>” with their response being “you’ll never be <X>”. > IMO and IME, If you want to do something, and you have drive, desire and believe you can and you want to, go for it, don't let age, disabilities, gender, or other people stop you. 100% agree
