No, it is not unusual at all.

Actually more people don't finish a degree at all. Most drop out after their second semester.
The second biggest group take 5 years to finish a four year degree and not usually because they are working.
Don't sweat it. A degree is a degree no matter when you get it or how long it takes.

No, I just finished at 27. Dropped out at 21 for a job (during the tech boom) and spent the last 2 years taking night classes while working full time.

I don't see anything unusual about that. A full time job, a change in study, a break.. these are good and common reasons for why people don't graduate earlier.

No. I know someone who did it on the 10 year plan, part time while working full time. Lots of working adults go part time or go back to school later in life. It's just great that you are finishing. Congratulations.

In school now again...I am 26 +
The economic culture now all kinds of age groups are in school due to the job market.
from traditional 17yr old to the 80 something that just always wanted to finish and now can....a lot of forty and fifty something’s...it's like going to school with your Dad and mom and their friends....my parents are cool though so that's ok....
Read a book titled "never eat alone......"

I'm 26 and going into 4th year. Haven't you ever seen old people in your classes? There are lots of people in their 40's in my classes, so no I don't think we are unusual at all!

nope, not unusual at all. i did it to work and pay my way thru school but i couldn't have taken a full school schedule so it took longer to finish than the lucky ones who got their parents to pay for them fully.

NO, you hear about people in their 80's and 90's getting their bachelor's degrees.

Nope, not at all. The four-year plan is a little longer these days for most. :) Good luck!
