So I'm probably not going to get my BS til I'm 25

So I made a few decisions and have changed my mind one too many times. I won't have my BS until I'm 25. I'm sort of stressing about that. Sometimes I feel like quitting school and working full time. Should I stick with my plan and get my Bachelor's? Is 25 really that old? I don't know...
 
I hope not, I'll be 24 when i get mine.

I just wanted to edit this real quick and say that perhaps you're feeling the same way I often feel. I don't know what the reason behind your 'delay' it but I had to take 2 years to settle a lot of issues. I struggle a lot at times to not feel like that time was 'wasted' and that I am somehow behind in life. Life isn't a race, and if it is I don't want to finish first. Take a breath, and try and enjoy it.
 
Don't feel bad, my co-worker is in his early 30s and is still working towards his BS. He hasn't stopped going to school since he was 5, either. :shocked:
 
<---- 26 taking a few undergrad classes working full-time undergoing a career change. 4.0 so far. can't wait to being my MBA in fall.
 
Not everyone takes a straight shot from high school through college. I started college right after high school, got my associates degree, took another couple classes, and have been in and out since while working. I should be getting my bachelors at 25 too.

No, forward progression in your pursuit of higher education is just that, forward progression IMO BlancoNino! 🙂
 
25 is not too old. Honestly 25 is the age when, in my opinion, one starts to really become an adult. You have many years left to start your career, have a family, buy a home, etc.
 
not at all. If you check out a school like Cal Poly SLO, most students take a few extra semesters to graduate. Their slogan goes:

Graduating college in 4 years is like leaving the party at 9 PM.
 
I'm 26 and still going. It's looking like I'll be 27 until I get the degree. 😱

Out of high school without a damn clue what to do with myself. After years of being told what to do, I finally had a choice. With many options before me, and my indecisive nature, I didn't have a damn clue what to do. I was good with computers, and Cisco seemed like a decent enough company, so what the heck, Cisco networking.
Spent 2 years on that and hated it.
Worked for almost 3 years in retail.

Still with little idea of what I wanted to do, but some idea of what I didn't want to do, it was back to college for a 4 year mechanical engineering technology degree and finding myself utterly bored and uninterested in most of the material. Yay.🙁
At least I stand to get a job that pays well, which is why I'm here.

Would you rather be 25 with a bachelor's degree or 25 without one?

This is the best response. :thumbsup:

People face different situations, some go to school full time and don't work, some work part time, and then work full time and go to school part time. I once heard about a lady that was 95 when she got her degree, so I don't think 25 is too bad. 😛
 
I was 24 when I got mine.

....but I worked a full time job ever since I was 19 to pay for it. Work was one of the factors of the time it took me, but the other was class scheduling, prerequisites, etc...

I believe the average these days is older than most people think. The average age of a university student is 25 I think.

This is what I'm thinking. I mean i guess this is all brought on by other guys I've graduated with that are making like 15-20 dollars an hour already....but my theory is that I'll get my degree and immediately be making about what they're making and THEN have it totally pay off after 5-10 years in my field of work. Am I right?
