Never too late

Two jobs? Wow. You are so young. It is not too late for school. You should think about yourself first (unless you have children on your own). If you are willing to help out your family, that is great, however, you should not kill yourself. Explain to your parents that you want an education either part or full time and you will have to cut down on some things. Such as; buying food outside or whatever else that will quickly take away money from your household. If they don't understand, that is not your problem. You are trying to better yourself. The best of luck.

It is never too late to go back to school, but it might be too soon. When you are grown up enough to take responsibility for your own life, stop making excuses, and stop calling yourself "baby boy", then maybe you will be ready for the privilege of going to college. In the meantime, you will have to work much harder for less pay than you will after you grow up. In the meantime, I hope you are still "supporting the family" while you think about it.

It is never too late, and you might consider going to a GED class and getting that instead of a diploma. If you move, find a city that has a community college and take classes at your own pace.

its never too late for school, I went through everything you listed above, and now the job I am working out not only pays my bills, they are paying for me to get a degree. The gf thing... women outnumber men, so i'm sure you'll still find another.

it is never to late for an education
i would try moving to a different school district and then taking half day classes so you can handle your jobs
you are a great kid for trying to support your family
go back to school kid
you will not regret it :)

It's never too late. You have to really want it though to have success at it. I'm 31 and wish I would've gone to college out of high school instead of waiting.

It's never too late. My mother is one year shy of getting her nurse practitioner's license and she is 48. Don't let your past keep you from seizing the future!
