Starting College At 28

Do you feel bad about going to college at the age of 28? 3

I went to college with my twin brother when I was 18, he graduated and I didn't go. I finished my new year and dropped out of college. When I was 18, I just wanted to hang out and have fun with my friends. Well, the decision came to me because I only worked in restaurants and retail stores as a minimum wage.

I feel like I didn't graduate from college at the age of 22. I hate my life so much I hate not getting an education like my twin brother. I know I've lost a lot of money ... I went to a counselor 2 weeks ago and he told me that if I went back to college to graduate, my 30 credits would be good. I really want to go to university, I want to study and I want to master science. I want to major in Chemistry or Computer Science. Science only fascinates me.

But can I go back to college at 28? I will probably graduate at the age of 30/31. It hurts me.

To update

I realized that the job market has changed in recent years, most jobs in my city now want you to at least get a bachelor's degree.

Your PED will not let me down. I want to master the exact science. I don't care if it's a computer science or a chemistry degree. I like challenges, I like to challenge.

You've never been old enough to go back to college. I never went to school with a lot of people in their twenties who were still in college. Life comes, bad things happen. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.

I think you have learned a valuable lesson in life that many do not understand: Education can make a difference in your life. Some people will do what you are and will not mind because they do not value education as much as you do. Congratulations, you learned how important this is! :)

And hey, I'm 28 too, so you mean when I wanted to get a higher education or suddenly decided to change jobs? Definitely not! I can do Tse at the age of 50 and there is nothing wrong with that. He did not follow the traditional educational path ... so what ?! I graduated two years later with all my friends because I dropped out of college in the middle of my new year. I spent a year and a half going back and getting the title I currently use. I even played this role a few times. I was in the wrong direction for the first two years of school. You save money because you're old enough not to waste experience and pick up a bunch of keys you don't want to keep! That's just fine!

Don't worry about age, don't worry about other students, don't worry about social norms. So has your life been a bit disappointing so far? You? Now you have the option to change it. Only a few are very lucky.

I now! : D

Back to college at 28

Katie, don't worry

This sounds a bit strange as it may not be your normal age for college, but in fact, when you are in high school, you will find that a lot of students of different ages sing. I found that some less traditional students were more mature and focused in the class and they really tried to get the final grade from the teacher and the text. You will soon become accustomed to speed, class and campus lifestyle. Twenty-eight is not old enough to be abusive, and the thirties are the best time to graduate.

Imagine going to another school that encourages you and focuses on your desires. I am sure you will do very well in the courses you are most interested in and with more experience you will not miss this second chance at higher education.

Very few people get a second chance like this, if you like it and if it challenges you, I will definitely come ASAP. And really, even if you're older, I think you'll fit in very well in college, especially with people who care about your character and personality over your age. ۔

I was a more traditional student, but in the past I could see that it made sense to go back to school when I was a little older (not just older).

Either way, it will help you feel less depressed and more optimistic, for example! You will be great!

It is never too late to learn. The longer you wait, the ■■■■■■ it will be.

I went to a university where the majority of the students were non-traditional students (at the age of 1821). Many, many people are there for some reason they couldn't go when they were younger. I went to a school where everyone worked and made a living, and most of the people in my school were in their twenties or older. Many of my friends / colleagues have children or grandchildren with her. Almost everyone has at least one job, usually two or three. Some went to college at the age of 18, but stayed there for more than four years because they could only go to part-time school each semester (could not pay a few keys at the time, or they were working and their Didn't have time. Time for all of them. Course charge).

I promise, at age 28, you won't be the oldest person in college. I was 21 and the youngest in my class when I graduated. Most of my graduates are middle-aged. On my graduation day, the last person to graduate was an 80-year-old woman who walked across the stage in her hat and walked on her roller coaster and stood up and saluted and stood up and greeted ... Do you really think anyone Will do that? ? Laughing at being 31 years old and graduating? Will they verify your identity upon graduation?

More importantly, do you really care about not getting a degree (and thus limiting your employment opportunities) just because you are afraid that people will laugh at you? Even if someone gets angry enough to make you laugh (and I doubt you know that person), wouldn't it be worse to get a lower paying job because you haven't graduated yet?

You should never be ashamed to graduate and progress. Education is never an investment in your culture and is the best thing you can do for yourself. Education will never be lost.

Return to campus and have fun. Once you are really confident, talk to the Continuing Stus department (or whatever your school name is) and see if there is a guide for non-traditional students to join the group. Study and form a social club with people your age. If you do not have a special college, feel free to apply for some of them and see which one you prefer and we can offer scholarships or scholarships. Find schools that are especially suitable for non-traditional students.

Do you feel bad about going to college at the age of 28?

It's good to step back, but you have to be realistic. The difficult science you have listed under "Chemistry and Computer Science" is very difficult. You do not want to be frustrated if you cannot get the right pitch so invest in a good capo.
You can study energy engineering or industrial engineering. These degrees are worth the effort and make for a good career, but they are far more difficult than pure engineering or difficult sciences. The state of San Jose, for example, has excellent bachelor's degrees in electronics and computer science.
