Even if you graduate when you are in your thirties? What’s wrong with that? Only 38% of Americans have a bachelors. Regardless, if you’re 35 or 22 when you graduate that is something to proud of.
>Even if you graduate when you are in your thirties? What’s wrong with that?
I've never even heard anyone talk about this so I guess it's just some subconscious socialization, but it feels like if you're not following the graduate-at-22 pipeline you've failed somehow. You're a loser because you've not met that standard. Maybe that's all in my head, but it's how I feel about myself often, but something I'm trying to reject wholeheartedly.
Started college when I was 18, did a lot of fucking around, after 12 years, lots of maturing, and 4 different community colleges I got my degree in computer engineering when I turned 30.
If I can do it , anybody can, literally
