why do people like me make the mistake of not going to school when your younger. Try and fix it now at 24?

Answer 1

Absolutely try and fix it now! You are still so young! If you already regret not going to school think of how you will feel in 5 years. And if you think of going to school as difficult at 24...imagine what it would be like at 34!

There are tons of older students at traditional Universities today, and there are lots of other options too. Junior college, trade school, etc.

Don't be afraid to change your life if you feel like you're headed in the wrong direction. It is never never never too late!

Answer 2

Being 24 years old isn't ancient. Assuming a life span of around eighty years, you have a long time to go.
Let's say it takes you four years for your schooling, you will be twenty eight, still fairly young. If you don't do it, you will still be twenty eight in four years, but have nothing to show for it.
If you want a better life for yourself, an education is essential.
Want a nice car, a home of your own, a good job, with good pay.
The don't give those things out to a high school drop-out.
Do the right thing, and get that education. It will improve your life, enormously.

Answer 3

Its never to let to get an education!! The same thing happened to me , I didn't graduate from high school dropped out when I was in the 11th grade. I ended up working at places being a housekeeper or janitor because I didn't have the education or confidence to apply any where else. I ended up getting pregnant at 23 and realized that I needed to have a good job and education to make a life for myself and child. So I went back to school Received an A.S.degree in Early childhood education and a B.S in psychiatry now I am a counselor working with troubled youth. You can do it go back and get your education. Another thing, when I went back to school (a lot older and much more wiser) I understood more I could grasp the concepts that were being taught. When you go back, go for more than just your high school diploma go back for a degree in something you enjoy doing. Good Luck

Answer 4

youth makes us do lots of silly and dumb stuff
at least you are trying to fix your mistake now at 24 instead of at 54...cool to do things to better yourself at any age...you should be proud of yourself for doing this
you can not go back and change things, but you can change them now. good that you are!

be cool...
