'i'll graduated'??? i take it you're not majoring in english lol


i think i was 24/25 when i killed this beast...

i think i started it 2 months after my 17th birthday... proceeded to endure 2.5 semesters or 3.0 semesters and didn't have the 'right' creds for junior status... but which was not unusual...

then took 1 semester off, which became 2, which became 3 semesters off...

then went back and smoked out something like over 80 creds in 2yrs with summer schools both times.



good luck and hopefully going to school at your age instead of the 'typical' age, you're more mature and thus in better position to appreciate an education if it is meant to be used for getting yourself a better job and a better life.

24.. don't worry about age.

You have teh rest of your life to work 9-5 and kiss someone elses ass.

Well, it's "Gates", but that's OK.............(snicker, snicker)

I finished a community college version of an 'Associates' education that cost me all of about $8K. (Books & all)

I make more than every single one of my peers except one.......and half of them have at least one degree. (One of my buddies has easily a $100K education & makes about $45K)

I will admittedly say that the other half didn't even go to college, but I have a couple buddies who barely finished high school by the skin of their teeth & one is managing a Costco & making well over $50K and the other started his own business right outta' high school & is makin' damn near what my wife & I make combined!!!!![/quote]


of course... college doesn't teach you how to make money, or how to get into position to open your own business, or how to generate revenue.... college is for credentials if you want employment in entities that req. credentials like educational institutions, corp. institutions... or where you needed certified skills like acct, lawyer, doctor, engineer...

I finished when I was 21 and I agree with abc. College isn't for everyone. If you got someone else or better to do go for it.

Don't feel bad.

Ask Bill Gates what he thinks of college.

:roll: I'm so sick of people saying that sh!t... Look it's alright to drop out of College, not really highschool but if you do drop out of HS you better have a good fvcking reason to...

I joined the military right after h.s. and that's my excuse. Well, at least I don't have to pay for school. Plus, the college girls are impressed when I told them my war stories.

 

[Juno]

will graduate at 25, changed majors three times.

 

[BlackAdam]

Will graduate at 21...

 

[kyparrish]

21

 

[S Freud]

going to try and get a doctorate in psychology, so i'm guessing I will graduate around 26 or 27 (I just turned 18 last month) but I will be done with undergraduate school when I am 22 I might try 21 but I don't know if it would be worth it to put myself through that.

 

[Stiganator]

Me hopefully 21 or 22

This is wishful thinking, you'll be one of the lucky ones if you do. To put together a serious thesis, especially in a field like psychology isn't easy to pull off.

I'll be 25 when I get my bachelors, maybe 30 for the PhD... might be too wishful.

Good luck to you, don't doubt yourself...I know its wishful thinking but if you would have known me when I first started highschool you would think that me being in college is a miracle, but i graduated my senior year with an overall 3.6 not bad considering I hardly went to school the first three years, now I am pursuing this and hope to achieve it, I know its going to be hard, but I like a challenge...and the money
