I’m sort of in the same boat as WazNeeni; four classes to go after this semester and then I’ll have a BA in Criminology with a Sociology Minor, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it, and I’m over $40K in debt. Oh, well. Thanks to an excellent teacher I overcame my lifelong issues with math and discovered the power of my TI-89 Titanium, so I guess that’s priceless. :)

I’m a non-traditional student (politically correct term for older guy), so I hope to make a decision soon regarding what I want to be when I grow up. Right now, I should be writing a paper…

I completed my Masters at 23…though I delayed my high school graduation for a year to graduate same year as my firends. Same thing in college – all work and courses for graduation completed in 3 years but stayed another year to graduate with friends.

I haven’t yet. I am only a few credits shy of my degree in Environmental science but right before my last year I got married and my wedding night =pregnancy so two weeks later I found out. I had taken off a semester for getting married due to planning and the honeymoon, Since the pregnancy I ended up not going back due to being high risk and having to stay home. I regret not finishing but I am thankfully for my family. It is a toss up. I want to go back badly as I love school and learning but money is an issue as i see it taking anyway things from my children. so when they are a little bit older in a year or two ill go i wish it wasn’t so $$

I was 22, did 3 years for computer programming, 2 years for networking. 4½ years later, I work in a bakery. My advice to you kids, is get your drivers’ license. That just may have been my problem.

I started college when I was 18, went for a couple years, dropped out when I was 21. I got married had two kids and then went back at the age of 25 and graduated when I was 29 with a degree in finance!

My Father just recently went back to university and he is in his late 40’s. He loves the experience, but unfortunately he has had to take leave for a while. He plans to go back to it sooner or later.

I plan on taking some sort of post education preferably in the English area, or a broadcasting degree. I think it’s also important to take your time when choosing what kind of post secondary education you need. It is of course part of the rest of you’re life.

I’m 18 and am now 5 weeks into my first year at college and I love it so far! It’s just our city community college but I’m planning on transfering to a university after 2 years. Probably somewhere norcal.

I graduated college in May of 2006 when I was 22. I should have been done when I was 21 but I transferred 2 and 1/2 years in….and then became part of the 5 year plan :) Everything worked out for the best. The first 2 and 1/2 years were a joke to me and I didn’t even try. Once I transferred, I basically became a straight A student. :)

Heh, thanks for putting the the time I forgot the R in first.. Heh, should I poke fun at you for the number of times you might re record a video.

The reason I started to go back, is that the comp science department beefed up since I was last there. They added Information Tech, and various courses, plus an IT degree, and a degree in networking. So, it sounded like time to go back.

I was very young when I finished college. I do remember well that those years were the best of my life. I remember staying up late studying trying to pass my tests, until I decided to give up that and do the opposite, which made me realize that I would do better on a test if I had a good night of sleep. Friends, relationships, fights, craziness, everything still remains in my mind and my heart. Good times!!!
