Is going to College when you are 25 acceptable?

I already have a few years of experience as a web developer, but I have a feeling not having a degree will push me back in the future. I was thinking on doing an account or finance degree and working half-time as a developer (even though college is free in my country).

Anyone has similar experience?

More and more people are starting college at a later age. Usually they dick around at 18-19 fail out, work, and then come back when they're more mature at age 23-27. As long as you dont try some creep shit you'll be fine.

Any age is acceptable, not everyone prioritises a degree in their early 20's, some people work, travel or fuck around and party until they're ready to make something of themselves. You're not even at an age where people might judge you for it, you probably would fit right in with other 20-25 year olds and no one would know the difference.

OP DEFINTELY DO IT. I am 25 and in my first year of college. After failing 3 majors, working full time (shitty ass stupid jobs) I was so dissapointed in what I have become I decided to just study again and kick my own butt and just finish what I started. It will cost a lot of money (my student debts are 40 000 euros now) but at least you will have a diploma and won't have to do shitty jobs

In what european country do you have to pay to go to college?

I'm facing this dilemma too OP.

I just got a letter in the mail stating that my college application from two years ago has been accepted. I need to respond by the 20th and pay a fee in order to have my seat reserved for the coming fall semester. I just started a new job (30 days ago) which has a low pay ($15/hr for 35 hours a week) but lots of room for advancement and I'll be 25 by the time the fall rolls around.

Fuck. What dooooooooo.

Define "creep shit".

>>18233076
Accept it. The longer you postpone going to college, the less likely you are to follow through with it (speaking about 30s and up) because you'll have kids or other stuff to worry about. Unless you wait until you retire lol.
>>
>>18232629

no, unacceptable, the school will not accept you, this is unheard of, wouldnt it just be better to NOT have a degree?

seriously though whenever you're worried about whats 'acceptable' jjust shut your self up. what you are doing is trying to secure the best possible outcome for you. you're 25. you already missed the early opportunities. you CANT change that. so your choice is to just say 'well ill never do it now since im 25, or to be late to the game

>are people going to look down on me for upgrading my skills and attempting to build a better life for myself

Fixed

Listen to yourself.


Then go to college...
>>
>>18232629
Ive seen 50+ people in college
>>
>>18232629
It's better than going when you're 18.

At 25 you can probable get your own place instead of staying in the dorms with noisy teenagers.

I plan to be in college until I die. No fucking kidding. College is free where I live so we see people of all ages, some up to fucking 80 y/o. Most of them already completed one or more degrees.

I was 19 in college, when I met a 25 year old. He was a cool guy. Just be a cool guy OP.

Funny enough, I'm 25 now but no longer in school.
