Answer 1

I am 23 and am just now finishing up college. And I have taken classes with 40 and 50 year olds that are returning to school. You will not be out of place. You are never to old to get a good education.

Answer 2

Hello.
I am currently 22 years old. I was 18 going on 19 years old when I first attended college. At the college I attended, there were people of various ages. There was one or two people in my courses that were in their 40's and there were people in their 30's. If you wish to learn do not let your age interfere. If you go to college, keep your grades up, and keep your record clean, most employers should consider you for a job. Keep your grades up and your spirits up. I am currently going through financial hardship but in 2-3 years I plan on going back to college to further my education.

Good Luck in the future and have faith in yourself.

Answer 3

You are never too old to start attending college. I am 23 years old and I am in my college career. In many of my classes, there are older people sometimes into their 40-50's that are going back to college to better themselves. I say go back.

If you have any questions the school advisor should be able to answer them for you or at least find an answer for you if they don't know.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

well i am 25 and currently going back to school to finish up what i started, just as long as you focus and use your time wisly you should be fine. as for the felony that was when you were young and its in the past and if you go back to school, when you look for a job they will probably ask you about it and also they will see that you have tried to straighten out your life by going back to school and that should out shine than your felony. Good luck my friend.

Answer 5

Too old for college? Nonsense.

The felony on the other hand will haunt you. The best you can do is just to do the best you can do. Go to school, improve yourself.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Trust me, you are never too old to learn. I am 26 and I have only been in school for a few years. You'll be fine. It will be the best choice you'll ever make. :o)

I'm sure you will be able to find a job, although I would talk to my college advisor and ask them about it...they know everything...lol

Good Luck :o)

Answer 7

I'm almost 24 and I go to college. I have taken classes with people that are in their 60's. It's not a big deal. You're getting a higher education...there is nothing embarassing about wanting to learn or better yourself.

Answer 8

shoot if i were 22 again the things i'd do you little freak. you have time. I didn't get my BA untill 27. a felony sucks, find a feild where ethics aren't a concern, like law. Or plan for a privately owned career.

Answer 9

I'm 25...I've been kept out of college due to cancer that keeps recurring. But I still intend to go once I'm cleared, even if I'm 30! You're never too old to go to college!

Answer 10

you are not lost... go to college do good and you will be succesful...get good grades that you can impress people and im sure someone wil hire you.... but talk toyour dean or advisor they will guide you more...but it's never too late for college!
