why do students have to be graduate at the age of 21 at least? Why not earlier?

Question

Education

Answer 1

Depends on

1. What age you graduate from high school. There is no age requirement, as long as you have a high school diploma or equivalent and have been accepted to a college/university, there is nothing stopping you from going to college. if you graduate from hs at 16, then you're just that much ahead of the game. I have a friend who got tired of the "high school thing" took her GED in sophomore year, passed, and is now going to U. Chicago. She was a genius anyway but you see my point.

2. Depends on how many credits you take every year. Does the school have core or is it open? Did you go into school absolutely knowing what you wanted to major in or were you undecided? Are you a double major or major/minor? All these things would limit/shorten your time in school. Most have a minimum of credit hours needed to fulfill core reqs, major reqs and for graduation in general. If you major in an "easy" major, take at least 16 hours a semester, and take 6 hours in summer school every summer, you can expect to graduate sooner than most.

3. 21, or 22 is kind of a symbolic age now, since it correlates with college graduation. It's like the final boundary between childhood and adulthood. So, when you make that age older or younger, ur idea about college and adult life changes a little.

4. You don't have to be 21 or 22. That's just the age most people are when they graduate. Some will be a little older or younger, but that all depends on your personal situation.

Answer 2

When I graduate I will only be 20 because I am young in my year. If you have had the opportunity and are talented enough to do your A levels (or other qualifications) earlier than in yr 12/13 in the UK then there is no reason you cannot go to uni earlier and graduate earlier. For example, I know someone who was a fresher when he was 17. However, you cannot apply for loans etc until you are 18 so most people wait till then.

Answer 3

i think of your question exhibits extra with regard to the evils of conflict than it does with regard to the ingesting age. The ingesting age became raised to 21 because of the fact it became out that too many human beings do no longer exhibit person skills to make rational judgements bearing directly to important concerns at 18. the undertaking with the protection tension is that as quickly as all human beings is old adequate to make smart judgements, very few decide to combat in a conflict. Wars are fought by ability of toddlers. of course we would desire to continuously have a protection tension if we are to preserve ourselves from attack, yet as quickly as we recognized that having a protection tension meant that our teenagers might might desire to combat, we would be much less vulnerable to bypass to conflict.

You don't. I graduated at 19. It is not a matter of age it is a matter of meeting the qualifications. There are professional certifications or licenses that require a min. age.

Answer 6

For a lot of students education is a waste of time.

They should just get a job, or join the military.
