Agreed, this is the way it should work. Particularly in a role-playing game, where the main mechanic is right there in the name. You're not tweaking a video game character for maximum efficiency, you're playing a person with all the virtues and flaws that it implies.
If your character works as a baker for 30 years and suddenly decides, "man, I should have gone to Physicker School", well, no amount of dragon forgetting-powers is going to turn that clock back. The best they can do is start learning now to make up for lost time. And maybe look for some youth potions.
