    Societal pressure to “settle down” as young as possible. Due to the economy of course that has become a very unrealistic expectation.

      Dude, most people in Israel start a degree around 22-24 in Israel. You’re not the only one who served 3 years in the military. Starting a degree earlier is almost exclusively for privileged people. If you can get accepted to a uni at 22, that’s actually really early - you’d be the youngest post-army person in class.

      If you didn’t serve in the military, at least you’re not behind in academic terms.

      edit: this isn’t even taking into account the perspective of age. The time you’ll have between finishing the degree and just being 40 is A LOT longer than it seems at 22. I’m 29, you have soooooooo much time. And on a second age perspective, even at 40 it’s not a bad idea because you can just do whatever you want.

      TL;DR just go for it
