Lifelong learning is challenging for adolescents who have passed their prime age. Even many members of these groups are at risk of dropping out of higher education. This qualitative study employs in-depth interviews with twelve National University of Malaysia participants. The informants are selected via targeted sampling based on predetermined criteria. The study data are analysed thematically using three levels of encoding. The study reveals three significant challenges: workload, emotional pressure, and financial problems. Three action power strategies for youth overcoming obstacles are self-discipline, enhanced self-confidence, and wise conflict resolution.
