Question

im 58 and trying to get my ged am i too old to try to get it now when i was young my mother passed away so i didn't finish school then i married the first time then i had my two kids so now i just have time so im going for my ged what do you think at my age

Answer 1

Go for it baby! Good for you! I'm 53, and I think it's great that you want to do it. It will make you feel so good, to see that the old brain still works......I quit High school at the end of eleventh grade. I took the GED 3 years later, and when I scored in the top 5% in the country, I felt great. Ten years later, I went to college for a year, it was so good for my self esteem, to see that my brain still had it. At 35 yrs. old, I went to dental assistant 1 year course, once again, it felt great! DO IT for yourself! (now, I have to admit, that I would probably really need to buy a GED study book, and refresh all the Algebra etc. in my mind, now at this age), BUT GO FOR IT !

Answer 2

Finish your GED. No one should ever feel old when learning new things and trying to finish school. I'm currently in College and I have great respect when I meet people who are in there 50's, 60's,70's and going to school. Your never too old. I'm proud of you.

Answer 3

No way! You are never too old to learn new things! Plus, 58 is young, girl! You should even go to college afterwards. You can probably get a scholarship for college classes. Universities usually reward ppl for deciding to go back to school. You do whatever you want and enjoy your life!

Answer 4

Honey, you are never too old to better your life and do something that will make you feel better about yourself!
My grandmother went for her GED around your age, or maybe even older, so age doesn't matter, it's the will that matters!
If I were you, I'd be very proud of myself for doing something so great!

Answer 5

I'm in school right now and half of my class is over the age of 35. Before I got into nursing school and while I was taking pre-requisites there were people in their mid to late 60's. Good luck!

Answer 6

you not too old! and its great that you are working on your education,,,,,,, after that, perhaps you might want to consider some college courses,,,,,,,, its an advantage we have as we mature that often we can complete some things we left unfinished,,, and take up new things,,,,,,,, i think it will be a wonderful experience for you!,,,, i began college in my 40's,,,, after getting my GED,,,, and i wasnt even the oldest one in my classes,,,,,, dont feel your too old to begin anything, you have alot of life left to live! a man i know learned to read and received his GED when he was almost 70!

Answer 7

You are never too old to go back to school. You could even go to college after you get your GED. I know several older people who went back to school and got their teaching certificate and got paid to be a certified sub. Work when you want to.

Answer 8

not too old at all...you can be 59 with a GED or 59 without a GED...which one appeals to you
good luck and go for it

Answer 9

No not at all, there are to many uneducated adults out there in the world when the information is so readily available. I commend you for going back. It takes a strong will to do something like that. Congrats.

Answer 10

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Go and do it. I am 44, but I did graduate from high school, wished I could have gone to college, I am at a point in my life I am thinking about going. Age makes no difference if you need to fix something in your life thats missing. Good Luck!!!!
