Graduating uni at 29 years old

Graduating late is more impressive than graduating at 22 in my opinion. You're less likely to be financially dependent on someone so it's harder.

Most younger people dropped out of my degree or switched to part time

Older students generally got better grades, could stick it out in stressful situations, and had an easier time finding opportunities

You'll do fine, I believe in you :)

kek im 45 and just finished my first year
ill be almost 50 when i finish, thats ok, ill be 50 anyway so might as well be 50 and have a degree

I'm 26 yo loser

what are you studying?

This is literally nothing. In my country, you need a Masters for an entry level job in most careers that require tertiary education, and a Doctorate is preferred. That means that even if you start at 18 you'll be at least 26 and probably older by the time you graduate.

This, good job OP. You still have most of your life ahead of you.

>Dropped out of Uni at 20
>Fell ass backwards into a gov job making 80k a year doing minimal work

Still deciding if I should go back but I'm not sure how long the upcoming recession will last

Cope.

>graduating college at 40

I graduated at 24, I literally spent 2 years in bed being a worthless NEET, thank god I'm done though, now I'm a worthless NEET with a degree

What job is that?

English is my majo but im so far just doing a bunch of other things
so far ive done , programming ,philosphy, criminology and architecture
think i want to do law next and maybe a language like japanese

Worthwhile to get a degree, even if it is from some lame community college with night classes.
If you ever do switch jobs, it may help.

Don't be mean :(

>off topic blogposting

what hellish country do you live in

I just hired someone for our team who graduated b-shool in the summer. He's mid 30s. (I can't tell exactly but it looks it from the gradiation dates for high school).

It's no big deal at all.

>self-studying software engineering to hopefully land a job in big tech
I have to make it if I just grind at it everyday, right?

Don't be off topic or type like you're on reddit

And? You did something with your life and you accomplished something. Don't put yourself down, and get off this site.

Best of luck to you user.

do you even need a degree at that point? you could just point to your experience in the field which is worth more than any degree.

me too at 26
i was already at my last sem and it took me 3 years to finish it

I graduated at 28 but at least it was before the pandemic

That depends.
Small companies? Probably not.
Big companies? Probably.
Anything with a "HR department" will seethe over you not having a degree.
But you probably dont want to work in those sorts of places anyway.

Good for you. I respect that a lot

>being 42 and going on a lot of road trips this summer and stopping at quaint little colleges with no real academic pressure where everyone gets a teacher's diploma or nursing cert and screws and drinks and smokes out for 5 years

oh to be 18 again lads. It's OK my nice car had satellite radio so I could listen to all the newest EDM I don't recognize anymore.

so you're not doing this to get a job or anything it sounds, just for fun?

just finish it up at Arizona State Online or SNHU. (go to a state school with online classes, not a for profit school)

if you are in government having a diploma gets you more money a year.

i'll be 32 by the time i graduate. sure as shit beats rotting away in a kitchen. best of luck to you, user!

>anything worth doing the entire art industry is in california
>therefore no point in a degree when i can and am learning and self studying on the internet
>stuck in shitty job and dont want sidestep to something just as passionless like IT
God I wish I was an npc and just happy to go through life with no self awareness and no existential dread

thankyou very much
actually i want to be able to get a job. I dont know what in but i think an English degree is fairly versatile. cant hurt anyway lol

no. big tech exclusively hires people with cs degrees who went to either top 20 CS programs or who went to CS programs in the bay area.

Just take the SAT and go to a mid tier school in Seattle or San Francisco and study Computer Science or CiS if you are less smart.

I graduated this year at 26 lol essentially I was a slacker who took very few credits each semester. Then in 2018 I flunked out. I feel awful for wasting my 20s but fuck it.

>graduate college
>graduate law school
>never had a gf
wtf did I do wrong

>SNHU

LoL. ASU online is legit but can't say the same for this one

Congrats. Still better than some 18 year olds who don't take their education seriously enough and piss it away partying and whatnot.

so focused an A’s that you forgot to B yourself ;)
