STARTING COLLEGE "LATE" IN YOUR MID 20'S/30'S !? (2023 ADVICE)

2 months shy of 32 with 2 kids under 7, I have some college credits but I haven’t gone back since I was 24. It’s so comforting to know so many others my age have decided to go back. I will be taking the first steps this week ❤

I’m 24 and technically wasted 4 years in college because all my focus was put into work hours and I don’t really know how to manage these things even though I have people who can help me organize or learn how to organize— I just don’t trust them
Nor do I have an environment or a motivational ability to see success as only money and things we can’t change but want to ourselves naturally and have completely destroyed the values of each other as men and women per generation that has passed into getting professional careers as many immoral kuckolding /only fans/ AI investments and things that aren’t leading towards a world of loyalty and trust that isn’t about corruption being given opportunities after gaining a certificate that just puts your chances higher to get a job in a position that requires a certificate whilst the employers are usually looking at your experience and exposure to the work itself .
I’d say the delivery of important knowledge isn’t made to be important at all in this country or any country copying the idea of success from these colleges.
We have to compromise certain things but it’s not necessary when you see how many people suffer less or more less out of these things
What has college and education done about anything regarding knowledge being actively and critically spoken about in observations?
We can’t even say that men commit suicide more than women without automatically being labeled as misogynistic in todays fake peopls/Disney/Hollywood culture.
When young people realize that many people aren’t being about principles as much as they grow further towards irrelevance whilst thinking they’re “advancing “ is just part of a broader delusion that labels terrible stresses as “positive stresses “😂

what was your schedule looking like? How did you balance being an adult and working, while also doing school and getting an accounting degree? Did you have time for friends, hobbies, girlfriend etc?

Please post your tips and tricks videooo 🥲💜

Starting school again at 33. Nervous but i wont give up

I'm going to apply for bachelor in 24, do universities have more expectations of someone like me than 17-18 yo applicants?
I want to study cinematography
Maybe someone's been in the same situation

I remember going to college at 22-24 or so, but I was a bad student, bad minset, lacked life experience, no license. I failed after 2 semesters and was put on academic suspension. Now I'm 31, In the process of Re-admission and getting that stuff taken care of. I honestly can't believe I'm going back, now it's not even about the degree anymore or getting a job, it's about finishing what I started. And that's a very different feeling vs I want to go to college to get that degree. Sounds weird but that's how I'm looking at it. I'm also a very different person now at 31, lots of rejection and life experience and pain really adds up. Back then I took on too much way too early, now I'm gonna start off a bit easier and gradually work it up.

I think when you’re older at least for me you care less about what others think . I’m going back to college at 40 years old . I’m not going for the bachelors simply because I can’t do four years . I’m just pursuing my associates degree in business administration then real estate license . My goal is to obtain a college degree fast then get other qualifications behind my name . I chose fields that don’t require higher education but it can be helpful moving up . I work my ass off in whatever I do . With just a CDLs I rivaled a college graduates pay . It’s all about applying yourself with some education .

I'm 26 years old this year, looking to get back into tertiary studies after dropping out twice from Uni at 19 and 21 years old. I was sick and tired of working crappy jobs (albeit some of the workplace cultures were great), on top of that my ADHD made it more tough to work those jobs as I'd lose interest very quickly and not feeling I was reaching my full potential. I've now come to a point in my mid-twenties where I feel more developed through life experiences and now want to commit to myself, and push myself to do what I really want to do, even though I've got to do the 3-4 years of studying. This video really helped and I'm hoping to finish with a Bachelors when I'm 29 years old.

Starting some classes at 30. Pretty nervous. Was always bad at math and it's all online O.o self paced courses

It's never too late. I completed my MBA at age 47 last year & am pursuing another degree

No apostrophe for you!

did you live on campus? if you did what was that like?

When I was studying for my degree I got mental illness and could not complete my degree. Now I am 33 years old and studying for my degree in librarianship. I go to delivery job in the evening after

I’m 33, dropped out at 19, thinking I may have made a mistake, I just need the right courses for me in the aviation industry.

Look up Western Governors University (WGU). Its meant for working adults. You can get a bachelor's degree online at an accredited rate. Trust me it will save you years and alot of money

U probably get this a lot maybe not but you should do ASMR your voice is very soothing 😊

I’m almost 31 and entering my 3rd year in full time music school. Planning to do my Masters right after. My biggest challenge is not having a FT income while I’m studying. It would def be nice and I also understand that this choice does require sacrifice.

I graduated college later in life at 25. It wasn't really worth it. I'm glad I went, but it didn't help me get a job as it should have.

❤

I went to college later in life. It worked out for me. I am a math resource high school teacher now.

Thanks for this video im 27 and halfway in my bachelors degree i was studying nursing then i realized that im only doing this to please my mom who doesn't support nor care for me so i changed to computer science and i was telling myself that i am doing this for me not for anyone and im also considering going for my masters in computer science and hopefully i can get a tech job in healthcare.

Can you speak louder??

Thank you

I’m 26, mother of 3, finally ready to go to college, thanks for sharing this ❤

I’m 24 and I want to graduate from a hbcu but I’m scared to live on campus at 25 I been live by myself for 4 years living on my own I graduated the December and I want to decide

At the tender age of 17, I found myself in a position that many could only dread—I dropped out of high school, feeling lost and uncertain about my future. In a world that often demands a degree as proof of worth, I managed to earn my GED, a flicker of hope in what felt like a daunting darkness. Fast forward to 30, a decade later, and I took a monumental leap. I stepped onto a college campus for the first time, my heart pounding with trepidation and determination. Now, at 31, I’m in the throes of my second year of college, navigating the challenges of academia with resilience born from countless life experiences.

My journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced hardship, spending time behind bars and moving through various states, seeking solace and stability. But through the chaos, the most profound motivation has emerged: my son. At just 4 years old, he has become my guiding star, his innocent gaze urging me to strive for more, to be better. The thought of him drives me to return to school, not just for myself, but to forge a brighter, more secure future for him.

I envision a life where I can be the father figure he deserves—a role model who shows him the value of hard work, perseverance, and the pursuit of dreams. I want to provide him with all the opportunities that I wish I had growing up, and I know that education is the key to unlocking that better life. Each late-night study session, every early morning class, every challenge I face is a step closer to that vision.

This journey is not just about earning a degree; it’s about transforming our lives. It’s about breaking the cycle and proving that with determination, change is possible. I want to be a living testament to the idea that it’s never too late to chase your dreams and that it’s the love for your child that can ignite a fire within you. I aspire to build a legacy of strength and resilience for him, one that he can carry forward, inspiring him to dream even bigger.

I am 32 will I still have the chance to continue?

I’m 28, I happy to be getting older but I’ve had lots of anxiety approaching 30 and not having my 💩 together, so I am now returning back to school, I moved to this town where there’s not enough dead end jobs so I’ve had trouble finding work, all the postings you need a degree…. Imma make it happen 🤷🏽‍♀️

❤❤❤

went back to school for diesel mechanic at 25 and just graduated at 26 best decision of my life

I was thinking about going back to school at 20

Hey there anyone please answer! 🙏🏻
I'm 21 right now and have a drive to do bachelors in CS, but we have a very Good Family business, Father wants me to get married early and takeover the business, please any advise will be appreciated 🙏🏻

Im 29 , i went back to college the beginning of 2024. I went to college in my early 20's i didn't know what i wanted to do. I dropped out. But as i got older i began to have a different mindset and discovered what i wanted to major in. It put a drive to take college seriously. Especially, since i talked to a counselor and they gave me some great news that. My Gpa wasnt bad. And theres less required classes that i had to take back then. So, it was the perfect time to go back to school. And theres alot of online classes. Which made it easier to manage. I recommend anyone from any age to go back to school. Nobody cares how old you are.

I’m 23 almost 24 and I have my ged and I wanna go to college but I just don’t know what to expect when I join bc I hear all the scary things about the high cost from room and board and tuition to food and working and the school work and it just seems like so much if I try and still fail then I gotta pay back the money I got from certain scholarships or whatnot and I just wish it was simplified so I can understand what to expect from every aspect of college

I'm going back at now 31 :) It's exciting to start.

Not everyone is able to just go to college right after high school! Some of us need to find our way back and be motivated to go back! I had to change my mindset over the years and be sure I was sure what I wanted to do is what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to put money and hard work in something I wouldn’t like. ❤ at 32 first year university student! Getting my bachelors!

Going back to college at age 31 , let's get it everyone GOOD LUCK Everyone!

Turned 24 4 months ago. I am ready. I wish I had continued straight after high school but the change in my mindset and attention was needed. Now I have the drive and focus and I want to go to law school at an Ivy League school. I can do it :)
