I argue that admissions committees will see such applicants as serious,
mature people who have strong professional commitments (otherwise they
would not be considering grad school). They certainly possess a degree of
valuable wisdom not present in young turks. As for career, I know
therapists well into their 70s who continue to have full time
practices. Quality therapy, unlike construction, is something not
restricted to the young and healthy.
