I already have an assoiciates in my field and have made great money, more then some of my buddies with 4-year degree's. But i think i have progressed as far as i can with my education and i am wondering if a 30 year old will look odd taking undergrad courses, i probably only have a year left? What do you think???

Your age of 30 is not too old to go back to school and get your bachelor's degree. You only need another two years and --- a bachelor's degree will be on your name.
You can perhaps take on line degree course if you do not like
personally to attend the classes. Later, you can even continue for a Master's and PhD degrees. You can do them now on line without disturbing much your work, or if you wish to concentrate in your studies, you can take a long study leave of absence.
Do not procrastinate further. Visit your dreamed university and get your dreamed bachelor's degree.
Good luck.

You can go back whenever and it's cool. Just one thing, don't be that annoying guy who feels that you need to share your "wealth of knowledge" you have gained from life experience with your class. It's OK to discuss but don't turn the class into your own personal dialogue with the professor. I'm not suggesting you will, but I notice it happens a lot more with the older students and it's irritating as all else.

My father got his Master's at 66, after a triple bypass surgery just a few years before. Some of his classmates could have been his grandchildren.
Now tell me if you still think you're too old...

Anytime you advance your knowledge, you are that much better off. I was finishing my nursing degree and I was over 40.. now years letter I know that it was a great idea. You're never too old.

Go for it. Take night classes a lot of the students have full time jobs and are older. Good luck.

It is never too old to go back to school. There is no age that limits you to get a higher education, too much education can't harm you!

Go for it. The wish to get your degree is half the battle won. And you definitely are not too old yet.

Congrats!
You are never too old to improve yourself. My MBA classmates were on average, much older than 30.
