Default If you have your Bachelors degree

How old were you when you got it? I had an epiphany last night that i'm taking way too long to get my degree. It's been a slow progress as I've not made it a priority for the last 3 years ever since I finished highschool. I'm working full time right now and at the rate I'm going, I probably won't get it until I'm about 26.

I was 34, half my life ago. I went into the USAF at 17 for 4 years. Started night school @ 22, went for 12 years. Associates after 6 years, Bachelors + 6 credits after 12 years. Tough way to do it, but it certainly was worth it. I always wanted a Masters, but after 12 years, I couldn't go back.

Didn't finish mine until i was 27, but I took my time to decide what I wanted to have as my mayor. Once I figured that out, I put the pedal down and finished "3 years of school" in 2 by going full time straight through the summers.

Damn I am on the same boat you are in. I don't think I am going to have mine for another 3-4 years also. I know I need to finish but it is so boring.

I was 23 when I finished 5 years of undergrad and needed to finish an experimental project for which I took a 2 unit 'incomplete'. I basically said **** it, I've been educated enough. I joined the Peace Corps then stayed in Latin America working for private companies. I came back when I was 34 and finished the 2 units and another 12 that had been added requirements when I was in limbo.

I was called out of school when I was 21 to help run the family business during an emergency. I moved home from colorado and got to work. 8 years later..........Im still considering going back and finishing my last year. Granted I have a great salary and now own a second business but still never really felt complete without the degree to back up the experience. I dont think its ever to late.

I just went back to school this year at 29. I should have my BA when I am 31 and if time permits I'll stick it out and get my masters.
