You may want to speak with your counselor and possibly your local community college, four year school or any school you may want to attend.  Some colleges and universities do not look favorably on students graduating almost a year early. Look into programs that allow high school seniors to take classes that count for college credits.  Good luck

It is NEVER too late when it comes to education.  At this age at least you have experience, patience, & wisdom to do the work.  Grad school is hard, but it is completly worth it.\n\nYou'll never regret it unless you don't try.\n\nAnother plus...it is such a fabulous feeling to have that robe placed arounf your neck!! :)\n\nGood Luck!

... I always wonder why people ask for the fastest way for a degree, not the slowest? It is because they don't care about the degree or they see it like getting a doctor's shot then they on their way. You get out of a degree what you put into it. Finding a way to graduate early in no way will "help" you. Please look at the quality of the program in determining what you pursue. Good luck my friend..

No...hurry up and go make some cash.  The longer you are in school...the more money u are going to lose.  They can hire some Indian or Chinese Engineer for cheaps..just get ur job fast.

i'll tried to help you to find the best answer in your situation....\nthere's different answer in different cases.depends on urgency.\n1. Friend of mine,from a poor family background, ask the same question. His family really need economic support, so i suggest him to have a part timer job. It's very good for him to help his family economic condition. what about you??\n2. in another case, if our family good enough to pay for it,no need to do that.focus on our study.if we're not focusing,10 years later,we'll regrett it, and we're too late to fix that.Focusing study, make lots of friends and earn more experience(get a lesson after school/course,do hobbies,etc)are good things to do..After we graduate, we can choose wisely the job were interest in and mastered the job we choose.\n3. if i'm from millionaire background.....just sit on my chair,sleep on my bed, eat on my table, no study,no work. if i were older enough, work on my family bisnis.earn more money...wekekekke........the 3rd one is a joke...kidding...hahahahaha.

face that circumstances, that is your challenge and training because someday when you'll finish your studies and you will have a job for you, and then you will have so much work to do so you'll have to work it over time, you can be easily adjust it because of your experience. don't just give up...that's normal. i'm also studying in a university and i already experienced more than that, i wasn't sleep the whole week, i thought that assignment could kill me but after all, i learned so much in it. i was happy when i got my high grades and now i'm ready to face the next challenge being a student. so, good luck. always think that the more you work hard the more earnings you will have. GOD BLESS

I really think that you should go for it. I am in my final year at university doing a law degree and my best friend also in his third year is in his mid-thirties. He had not done any schooling since he was 16 and was also very worried about exams and assignments but he has turned out to be one of the best students in our year! He says that being a more 'mature' student has made it easier on him as he knows how hard it is in the 'real' world and that it has given him extra motivation to do well.\nGo for it, I think that you would be suprised at how well you do!!

it's never to late to go to college its the most important and successful thing you can do for your self. mid 20 mid 30 people still go to college.I'm in college and there is people in college that are in their 30 and they say that it is one of the best choice they have done going back to college. i would highly recommend it a lot. what  you have to lose? take the chance while you still can

Yes there is hope.\nYou will have to make the studies appear on your priority list.\n\nI know you already have your hands full, and you are discouraged, but do not give up hope. You have already achieved much in your life, Keeping a family going is no small task, your friends will learn this someday and have a new respect for you.\n22 is still very young and you have many years to achieve your goals. I know people that have finished their high school and college degrees much older than you while working and raising a family.  There is a saying that goes, "You can have it all, you just cannot have it all at once."  You cannot have a do-over though, you will have to work from where you are in life now, which honestly is not such a bad place compared to many people.\n\nYou have completed 4 of 9 courses, so you are nearly half way to your goal.  Maybe you are looking at this in the wrong way. It is easy to get discouraged from a task if you look at the whole of it.\nDo not consider 5 courses, consider one at a time.\n\n Set aside a time when  you feel you are least likely to get side tracked.(evening, early morning, mid day when kids nap, whatever fits the day) Look at  the amount of time you can give to these studies with out needing to do something else. Maybe your time frame is an hour or maybe it is smaller yet. Make a goal to do what you reasonably can every day, pick one or two days off if you need to. Any amount of time you can give to this task is beneficial to you in reaching this goal, and to your self esteem. Do not get discouraged if it seems too small, after all a half an hour a day adds up. Some days the world will be against you and you just will not get it all done, this should be rare emergency situations, do not let this set you back. Get into the habit of the studies, just as you would if you were working out or trying to attain any goal.\nYou may do better by setting a goal of so much completed, it just depends on how you study and how easily this comes to you.  Now you have your study time carved out, maybe it means waking a half hour earlier, Maybe it is after dinner before you join the family for the evening, what ever works. On top of bring the books where you can and get a few extra minutes of reading in if you have down time like a wait or a commute.  \nIf you have kids to mind, maybe you can get a play date or sitting exchange going once a week,or perhaps a family member could give you an hour or two a week to commit to these studies.\nAll this time will add up and you can reach this and any other goal you want. Be determined and do not listen to negative people, if they are not part of the solution then they are just part of the problem. Keep your head up keep  grinding along, and remember that you can do this and you need to do this for yourself and your family.

The thing is this:  Its about character.  Work ethic will take you very far in life and if you slack off knowing you could do better it could really alter your destiny.  As you get older life is going to get harder...much harder...and the time you put in to serious study without excuses will pay off, believe me.  Never settle for second best if you can be first.  That would be a huge mistake.  You are just starting your life...set a good standard now for hard work and follow through.

You'll be fine.  It's normal to freak out about something you've never done before.  They wouldn't have chosen you if they didn't think you could do it.  You'll love it, you'll be great at it, and you'll make a lot of money when you graduate.  You'll be fine.  Just get you and your children into a routine now so that it's easier when school starts.  The school should have a Student Services Representative/counselor/tutor who can help you if you do encounter any problems.  Don't forget to communicate with your professors, get your assignments done way early so you don't fall behind, and have fun!

NO you can always become self-empolyed and do very well for yourself.  Being a wiz student, means nothing in the real world.  If you have good people skills and can sell the person you are, you will do fine AFTER school.\n\nEnjoy your youth and don't take the tests and school so seriously.  That doesn't mean not to do your best, BUT don't let it ruin your life.  You are too young to be miserable.  Trust me, misery will find you in many other ways down the lane of life.  \n\nHope this puts it into perspective a bit. There  is a joke/saying about graduating medical school...  \n\n"What do they call the person who graduates at the BOTTOM  of  his/her class in medical school?'  \n\nAnswer?  \n\nDOCTOR.\n\nTry your best, and take the cards dealt. Whatever your course of study, as long as you graduate, you will then be in a position to pursue your job goals.  If they ask at what level you graduated, tell them you graduated.  You worked hard, and if given the opportunity you will show them just how hard you can work.. Let them know that book learning has nothing to do with mixing in with people in the real world, and that your ability to be a team player and a dedicated employee will take you further in the company than what your grades show.  \n\nJust show personality, and dedication, and most importantly, CONFIDENCE.  You will do fine.  Wish I was young again!

The time to graduate is not an issue.  There requirement is that you have a four year degree.  The requirement is not that you graduate in four years.
