Alot if people graduate at 22.
Lol literally nobody will care
I didn’t graduate til I was 30. No one seemed to care.
As a European I’d say it is not embarrassing and if you watch the UK University Challenge you’ll see lots of people that introduce themselves as having graduated at a later age.
Graduating is never embarassing. Full stop.
Embarassing is thinking about it!
I got my bachelor degrees in nearly 10 years and the master degree in around 5 or 6 years (I was 37), and I’m proud of them!
Anyone has its own life, priorities and problems, an, jist different lives with different availability of time, . And reaching an objective is everything bit not embarassing at all.
Exactly, I had to work through a bunch of stuff, and took 6 years in uni for BA, goal is 3 years. Then I left and worked on myself again, and went back to school for a different field at 26y, graduated at 29. Wife got her BA at 27, masters at 32 and is now working on doctorate.
There is no one fits all path, guide or schedule for life. Do your best, fuck anyone who would sneer at your huge achievement just because it took a little more time.
wut
No? Where did you even get that idea?
I have a 31 year old friend finishing up their bachelor’s in March.
One of my class mates in college started when he was 27.
I would like to go to grad school in my 40s.
The best time to further your education is right away. The second best time is now.
+1 I finally finished my bachelor’s at 31 so I could check a box on job applications. I wouldn’t have my current position without it, useless and inapplicable though it is.
Personally, the older you are when you do graduate, the more impressive it is.
Not at all. My sister went back to uni and graduated at 34.
I’m rather hoping to box off my degree this year and I’m the wrong side of 40.
That said I’m fortunate to have been able to choose to do a degree programme alongside my line of work, for no other real reason than “I fancied it”.
I graduated at 42.
Was I embarrassed? Why would I be?
No?
I graduated at 29 and 34 respectively. It means you did the work. Keep it up.
well congrats on that too
Do you look down on people who graduate at 34?
No embarrassing is something like shitting yourself in public or what RayGun did at the Olympics.
You are fine.
Graduating college is not embarrassing at any age. Working to better yourself never is.
Most people never graduate
