I'm 29, and working on my bachelors degree. I might finish when I'm about 31 or 32. Is that too old?

The attitude that you "might" be too old is much more damaging than your age!  Although it's probably true that the majority of people earning undergrad degrees is probably 21-25, it's not exclusive.  People in their 70s have earned degrees!\n\nQuit thinking about age.  And begin thinking about how to study well in  your classes and choose a career for which you will be best-suited.

absolutely. I retired from my job as an educator after  32 years. I am only 58 and feel like I could take on the challenge of another career.As long as the mind is still functioning,go for it. As a matter of fact,studying will keep the mind moving. LPN is a rewarding job,helping people in need. YOU MUST BE A PEOPLE PERSON WITH PATIENCE AND GOOD LEGS.LOTS OF STANDING AND WALKING.HEALTH CARE  JOBS ARE ALWAYS IN DEMAND. GOOD LUCK.

You are certainly not out of your mind and not old by any means.  People I know got their nursing degrees when they were well over 45 and are working, making good money.\n\nThe medical career is extremely rewarding.  You feel like you're part of the solution rather than part of the problem.  I highly recommend it.\n\nCan't recommend schools, etc., in your area, but wish you all the very best!

You don't look your age at all!  I'd like to be twenty four, it seems like at that age you're sorted, you have a place to live, a job, and you know what you're doing in life.  I'm eighteen at the mo, (and happy of course! ) yet I feel like I'm too young to be getting up and going, yet too old to be sitting still.

It's never too late to start college.  My husband went back to school at age 40.  You have many children to support and you NEED the education to find a professional job with a good salary base in order to do that.\n\nAnd, as an extra bonus to getting your higher education, look at the example you'll be setting for your children!  By your actions, they will see that anything is possible and how much you value education.  Perhaps you'll improve their study habits when they see you buckling down and giving up activities you enjoy in order to study.\n\nYou should definately have confidence in yourself and go for it!\n\nGood luck!!

wow! im 20 and still no direction in life. i want to be a handyman but im also considering to be a nurse. i just want to be a nurse coz of the job security. but i really like doing hands-on stuff like being a handyman or doing landscape architecture.\n\nwell, my advice would be to study hard and exceed above what is expected of you. people might think you might now make the cut coz of ur age. prove em wrong, sir.

My bother just got his BA at the age of 38.  He has a wife and two kids and a full time job.  He kept very busy.  But it was very rewarding when he got the diploma.

Over 30, but under 40...

At your age, that's a fairly big gap.  When you're 37 and 40, it's not such a big gap.

You're not getting any feedback and I can't personally answer, but a friend of mine is a 32 year old, twice married mom of four, working at a clerical, part time, poorly paid job.  Her husband is doing well at a major utility company.  She knows that were she to maintain the status quo, she would live her life quite happily in terms of financial resources; however, she has a itch to get her degree for her own personal edification and education.  Should that transition to a career, wonderful.  But she has no expectation of that.\nHope that's what you are looking for.\n-MM

While people you know that are your age may be close to graduation, there are still many around who haven't even started yet. At age 21, you are still very young and have many, many years ahead of you. \n\nDon't be discouraged because you have decided to take charge of you life and go to college. You are right where YOU should be. Don't live your life looking around you, look to yourself to find your own way and what works best for you.\n\nYou will be fine as long as you stay focused on your goal and never give up. Be proud that you are able to go to college and take care of yourself. You will be at an advantage when you go to college because you are more mature and have more life experience that will benefit you in college.

I think much after 45 is waiting too long. But it depends on your training before hand. If you don't have any training at all, and are out of shape, the age is obviously going to be lower, but if you are well trained, then you could try to be professional later on.

I don't think that this is too old to be attending beauty school.  i work in a salon (i have not attended school myself, however) and i know many stylists who start later in life in this career path.  I also plan on going to school as soon as i can afford it, and i turn 26 in Feb!

You may not have to graduate at 26. Have you looked at all the options of transferring credits? Most univerisities also have the option of allowing students to test out of certain classes if they talk to the heads of the department. If it does take you longer, that's not a problem either. I have classmates who are 5th year seniors, some who are supposed to graduate in the spring and are still undecided of a major. I wouldn't worry too much. Just take it as it comes, if you graduate at 26 or 24 I don't think employers will make that big of a fuss. Hope that helps, and good luck!
