>Basically, is the reason why you don't see many people past their 20s in college more because of lack of time and/or money, or is it because of physical limitations of the human brain?
Probably both to a degree, but mostly the former. I mean lets be real here, it's much easier to study when you don't have a job or any responsibilities really beyond minor chores like doing the dishes or taking the trash out. Imagine you were given an extra 8 hours every day to study. There's also the fact that you're socially pressured to study as a child by literally everything around you, your parents, school, culture, etc. You are no longer pressured to study in your 30s, you are pressured to earn money and procreate, so now you have to go against the flow, not with it.
