Is 23 too old to begin an engineering degree?

Question

I'm 23 years old. I have had college experience but did not complete my degree.(due to financial reasons) But now I really see the error that I made. Has anyone else began an engineering degree so "late in life?" Not that 23 is old.

Answer 1

Nobody is ever to old to get an education. If you want to go back and get your degree by all means go and get it. I think you will be pleasently surprised to see people twice your age trying to get the same degree. Never let your age be a factor in anything you want for yourself.

Answer 2

It's never too late to complete your degree and change careers.

At 23, you still have more options than you realize.

Good luck my friend.

Answer 3

23 is not too old and it is quite common for people to have a lapse in their college pursuit due to family, finances, etc. There are a number of scholarships available for returning students. Scholarship search engines such as Fastweb.com and brokescholar.com could be very helpful to you.

Answer 4

Get a grip.. 23 is still young.. and you can start a new degree at anytime.. I am 32 and still working on mine.. if you want it go for it..

Answer 5

You are too YOUNG! There's a huge influx of GenX, baby boomers, even senior citizens, who are getting engineeering degrees now. For pete's sake, give them all a chance to graduate before you enroll! :-)

Answer 6

No. You are definetly not too old. There are even some programs that focus on educating people later in life.

Answer 7

Never too old to pursue a degree. Go, go. go.

Answer 8

u aren't too old to get more education! good luck to you!
