I just graduated and am almost 25. I don't think they really look at when you entered and graduated as long as you have job experience/internships/decent grades/activities on your transcript and resume when you get out.

The way future employers look at you at an interview is how you present yourself. Do not concern yourself with your age, being a 26 year-old graduate shows that you value your education and made the decision to complete your degree. I know this first-hand, I recently completed my bachelors, one-year ago at the age of 24 (I was a 20 year old freshman). Don't stress...

Age shouldn't be a requirement or hinderance for a job. I am 23 years old and in college. I got an Associate's degree last May. I was able to land a really good summer job.
Interviewers will be looking at your credentials and whether or not you are good enough for the position, not your age.

GO for it. No matter the age. Its an accomplishment you will be proud of your whole life. Also people go back to school in their 30's and 40's. Your still ahead of those people. If it is really possible Do it. Good luck!

Last year, we had a 24 year old freshman in our dorms. He'd served in the marines and got his GI bill, everyone was cool with him being older. Professors really liked him. The point is, he made the best of it, and it worked out. I think it's really up to how you choose to view the circumstances.

Yes I think it will help that you are older, because you have more experience.
