Is 25 too old to start a career? I'll be that age when I'm done 6 years of schooling (3 college and 3 university). I'm really thinking of dropping out of university to work (I'm 22 now) any suggestions? Is the payoff of university really that great? Distressed....

finish now b/c if you don't then you might not go back.
jsut do it and know that the last final you take and the last paper you hand in will be so worth it and feel so good.
just stick with it and finish...you can do it!!
take care!

More and more these days, it is common for people to be switching careers 3-5 times in their lives, whether they started out in college or not.
I went straight through from high school to undergrad, then a year off, then 3 more for my graduate degree... and that's just getting the education to have a chance at doing the work in the field. After a couple of years trying to find what I wanted in the field, realized the field was changing, and I didn't want to do the work that was easy to find. Decided on a career change, and spent the next couple of years in regular old jobs while I studied. I'm hitting the new job market now after just turning 35.
You aren't too old to start a career... many people of all ages, education and experience levels are doing it.

NO it's absolutely not too late to start a career!!! I am 26 and I'm just now finishing up school to get my teacher's certification and get out of the industry that I am in. Finish school NOW while you have the opportunity b/c once you're out of school and working it's SO hard to get back into school. I work full time (45+ hours a week) AND I am in college full time -- I never sleep, I'm constantly stressed, etc. I wish I had done it while i had the chance. Plus by this time, you'll have a higher college degree than some people who are just getting one degree. I think you should stay in school

Of course not, I've known people who have started a colmpletly new career at the age of 50!!
Most people in successful careers don't start until they are around 24 or 25 because before then they are in education and gaining experience

No it's not. It is all about marketing. You need to build your own audience on the Internet. Internet allows you to reach millions of households a day as well as international listeners. Record a some music and make your own website also get Myspace, Facebook, YouTube (make your own music video), and then link all the pages together. Labels look at how many hits you get on your website. That's how Tequila from shot of love was discovered and Soldier Boy--not that I'm fans. However, if you have talent that will make it even better.

The payoff of completing that degree can be impressive. The average salary for a four-year graduate is more than three times the average of that of a high school graduate. This from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Government...

No! Many people go to college and grad school, and it is definitely worth it in the long run. Don't get discouraged now, because getting your degree(s) will be a life changer when it comes to getting a good job. Whatever you find to do now without schooling will not be as good an opportunity as what you can do after graduation.

Not at all. You are going to be 25 anyway so you may as well find a career you enjoy. My pediatrician didn't go to medical school until he was 35 and he has no regrets. Go for it.

I think 25 is about average and your earning potential increases dramatically with a good college degree.
