Is it awkward to be around other students?

>>85842405

I messed up my college years

>>85842399
one of my recurring nightmares is going back to high school as an adult. I didn't even have a bad time in high school.

We have an aging population, more staff will be ever more needed as time goes on

>>85842529
Maybe but there sure are a lot of us

>>85842522
i imagine it will be awkward everyone will be <25 most likely

No there's a huge bottleneck with nursing education right now. Chances are you'd be on a waiting list, assuming you even met the requirements.

it's not for le joberino

At 37 you should be a thousand years past the point of giving a shit about what cocomelon paw patrol skibidy-toilet retards think. You're there to speedrun a credential

I think this will become more common as people start switching fields due to AI.

Same, I keep dreaming there's a 5th year the everyone has to attend long after senior year and I always get anxious about having done nothing with my life since then. I always wake up drenched in sweat.

Dont be 37

I did community college at 22-24. Can't imagine what it's like as a middle aged, but more importantly why?

Try to fuck the cute zoomettes.

Im 34 in my final year of engineering

Its mostly been fine, the worst part is you'll realise how stupid and lazy 18 year olds are because they have time on their side and can afford to mess up.

Just keep your head down, do your work and don't try and make friends with young people, they'll think you're weird and theres nothing you can do to change that.
If they attach themselves to you that's one thing but don't be desperate.

Also start your coursework the day you get it. Even if its just an introduction.
You'll thank yourself when everyone is stressing to get something in and you've finished it months ago.
Good luck

If it makes you feel any better I'm classmates with this one Belarusian guy, he's likely older than you, has a wife & two kids, is failing the engineering courses from what I can tell and he doesn't give a single shit about any of that. He's quite intriguing honestly. He grew up in Belarus but had to evacuate due to Chernobyl and relocated to Moscow. Point is, you may feel like an outlier but University students of your age are more common than you'd think. Just complete the 4-5 year prison sentence that is University and become a sugar daddy or something.

I'm 22 and I agree completely with your sentiment on younger people. People are getting more and more ageist, though befriending anyone in University beyond having someone to study with is quite pointless unless you have shared interests outside of class.

>Get a CPA
no. you'll be doing grunt work until you're 50.

sometimes. I went back for my degree when I was 40. the fact that I was able to carry on intelligent conversations with professors made me stand out. I could have gotten laid numerous times but I'm married.

actually, this. you're already there but for you younger people, get as much education you can while you are young. going to night school while working, married and have kids is a grind.

seriously, there are students (male and female) that will see you as fresh meat.

I didn't tell him to work at Merrill Lynch, I told him to get a CPA.

Dunno how it is in the US, but in Germany it is relatively common to be in classes with guys 35 and older. I started at 30 and graduated shortly before my 34th birthday, my other college mate was 36 and turned 40 when he graduated.
