people still thinking that you're a student?

[jingramm]

do you experience this?
I'm in my mid 20s and people still think I'm a student in high school/college. I don't think that's a good thing.

Hit on the high school / college cicks?

once they find out my age, they'll be like WTF?

 

[seepy83]

Same here. Mid 20's, done with my under-grad, work full time, own a house. Every time someone comes to my door (politician, contractor selling windows, siding, etc) they ask me if the home owners are home and when I tell them I'm the home owner they are always shocked. I don't think it's a bad thing at all...

 

[brblx]

all of my conversations with new acquaintances began starting with 'are you married' and 'do you have kids' once i hit about 20, so no, i cannot relate.

i'm going to look like shit when i'm 40.

i turn 31 this month.

I've been carded for booze several times over the past year.

I think it's kind of funny, actually.

 

[TheVrolok]

I was always one of the guys who looked 4-5 years older, it was cool in high school and even in college but I'm worried it's going to catch up with me as I age.

Mine is worse I was carded buying Resident Evil 5 at gamestop. I am 27 years old. I don't think I look that young and but I do pretty much get carded at bars and buying alcohol.

I don't think I've had anyone mistake me for a high school or college kid though (other than being carded).

Uh, that's why you lie.

 

[FoBoT]

no
i didn't look like a student when i was a student
i look older than i am
this is probably partially due to my beard
which has now gotten several white/grey patches

That reminds me, actually i DID get carded buying a game at Best Buy a couple years ago. I think it was Age of Conan. Man, what a day I wish I didn't have my ID on me. Could have saved me 49 bucks on that piece of shit.

You might want to ditch the emo haircut.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

depends on the situation, but generally if i say i am a student people believe me

28

 

[Fayd]

i'm 24... a relative of a relative of mine thought me and my brother (26) were both still in high school.

 

[AbsoluteParadigm]

I'm just turned 24 and yes, people do often mistake me for a college student. Though to be honest, two years out of college doesn't allow that much aging.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I still consistently get carded buying booze (I'm 24, booze is 18+ here). Ugh.

 

[lokiju]

I used to always be told I looked younger than I was but not for the past few years.

Guess getting fat makes you look older

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

this forum must be full of "azns"

 

[HannibalX]

If I see a twenty something person with long hair and a beard I assume student/no job.

 

[JDub02]

it's fantastic. i still use my college ID to get discounts and i've been out for a while. most people think i'm in my early 20's. i don't really mind.

 

[Riceninja]

yo,

if you dress like youre still in college
and act like youre still in college
people will think you're still in college.

truth

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Hired a new kid at work, he's 24. God, I'm gettin' old, he looks like 16.

 

[Oil]

My grandparents think that people in their late 20s/early 30s with a full time job are "college kids"

I'm sorry...but what exactly are you supposd to dress like when you're 26 and out of college? Am I supposed to wear Dockers with plaid button-downs and sweater-vests everywhere I go so that people don't think I'm a college student? And what do you mean when you say "act like you're still in college"? I work 40 hours a week, take care of my house, pay bills and taxes, and spend my little amount of free time with friends....I'm pretty sure that's acting similarly to my 30+ yr old peers.

I don't like your logic.
