I am going to University at 33 years old.Did you make bad life decisions iyc?
Was the bad decision going to school or waiting? Because I'm going at 31
>>217165787>>217165813Lol and I thought I was an unc for going at 25
I'm 38, I never graduated but still managed to get a great job as a programmer (knowing English helped A LOT) and I'm going back to college (online though) in January. Just do it brah, at this point in life we have nothing to lose .
>>217165839You are. I'm your uncle's uncle
>>217165787Is it a bad life decision because university is bad or because you're an unc now.If the latter, there's nothing to dwell on. The past has happened and you can only make the best of the life you have left.
>>217165787Your life is starting to change for the better anon.I hear students in their 30s study harder than younger ones spending hedonistic time.
>>217165787undergrad, postgrad or phd?
>>217165907why are you going back?33 here, studied CS, after an internship at a company I got offered a position, ended up focusing 100% on work and never graduading, but sometimes I feel like going back to uni again to finish what I previously dropped
didnt want to go to uni cuz poorfag parents and didnt want to rely on them to get through the uni also i never believed i could last at something for so long that could not even pay off in the end
>>217166089It's not true. College is just easier as an adult because you can manage your time better, while 19-25 year olds can't organize their lives for shit.
>>217165839TZD
>>217166114I'm obviously near my 40s (duh!) so I if I ever lose my job I want something to back me up in case I need another one. As I've mentioned I've been EXTREMELY lucky but I can't risk it anymore, the good thing is that online universities in here are 3 years long so it's definitely worth the risk right now.
Is going to an accounting school to be an accountant at the age of 30 worth it?
>>217166195>m obviously near my 40s (duh!) so I if I ever lose my job I want something to back me up in case I need another oneI was thinking that too, especially now that IT job market is not the same as it was 10 years ago when I entered. Are you going to study CS or something else?
>>217166256Yes, definitely CS so I can back it up with my experience.
>>217165787There was a guy at my year in uni that was in his 40s. He had no trouble fitting in despite being almost twice as old as most other students. It will only be weird if you are autistic but that is true regardless of your age.
>>217165787I studied English Literature at university like a retard, and now I'm unemployed/unemployable.
>>217165787Better late than never. You literally have nothing to lose at that age.
>>217165787Take advantage of government aid and knock that out your master's study as well.
I went to a massive public university and for better or worse people barely acknowledged each other. People drop in and out all the time and nobody cares
>>217165787You will have the maturity to take it seriously and perhaps you will have a stronger background in math than if you had started earlier.I went to college straight out of high school at age 18 and i had never faced any consequences for my academic mediocrity, so i ended up not taking college seriously and i ended up failing and i have a friend, we're the same age, he's never enrolled in college, and basically we are at the same point in life, we have reached the same amount of life progress, simply because i thought that attending college was something good in itself. It wasn't, if you don't take it seriously and youre not learning anything and you dont have the educational background to succeed, its the same as not going to college in terms of achieving life progress.
>>217165787Could be worse, you could be me and went to college but fail to worship and grovel the ultra genius jeetoid professors and get kicked out
