Did you go to college in your youth?

[WindAtMyBack]

I went to college off-and-on from my late teens to mid 30s. Six colleges in three states.

In my teens I wasn't ready. I think my first choice of majors was the right one, but I just wasn't ready.

Nothing wrong with waiting. So many people go to college because they are "supposed" to. But they have no real direction and their heart isn't in it. As they get a bit older they understand why they are going and what they want out of it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep they don't just take it for granted

[Kaneki05]

I was forced so yeah. Didn't do much. In fact I got it so I only had to go in once a week. Basically I was just there for legal reasons, as you have to be doing at least some form or education or employment until 18.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That's fair enough

[Apulu_backagain]

I'll graduate high school in 2026 and be in college then, trying for NUS or Oxford as my first choice otherwise Cambridge or NLU (National Law University) or IIT (Indian institute of technology). I know I can't get into ivy league so I stopped expecting for that, I don't have many extra curriculars, only my academics. I will simply not go to college if I can't get into any of these.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That's quite the statement ha

[Apulu_backagain]

Either everything or nothing. No in between.

[midnightmoon05]

Yes. I received my undergraduate grad. around 23 or 24… I started at 18… took me 6 years. By 22 I got my full time job and was a teacher assistant with the department of education. So I went to school part time. I had to get my masters with in 5 years after and I did… then I can get 30 more credits to get top pay… and I did… done with everything by 30.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Did you do anything with what you've learned? 🤔

[midnightmoon05]

Not really… didn’t learn much… I had to in order to work.
I am working as a teacher. If that’s what you are asking.

[ChicoFromThe305]

So what did you study?

[midnightmoon05]

How to corrupt the youth of our country 😂 jk

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol.

[midnightmoon05]

U thinking about going to college?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Pff no 😂

[AI Opinion]

Yes, I went to college in my youth. I earned an MBA from Harvard University, which greatly impacted my career in education and career development. My experience there helped shape my understanding of both fields, allowing me to guide others effectively.

[Flower7]

Yeah but it hasn’t paid off so I regret it. I feel like going to college was the wrong decision. It took SO much time out of my life and put me behind in the working world because all the time I was in school, I could have been getting more work experience.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Time is indeed something you can't get back

[LazerBean]

Yes, I did. Got a degree that I will probably never use lol But that's okay, it's one of those degrees that will always be relevant if I ever do happen to need it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

What degree is that? Cause you didn't mention 🤣

[LazerBean]

Nursing lol I think I would have liked working as a nurse a lot, but I like how much time I get to spend with my family even more

[ChicoFromThe305]

Can't argue with that, that's what's up lol

[LazerBean]

Yeah lol what about you? Any college?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope lol

[LazerBean]

Well it's just as well, most degrees now are a waste of time anyway

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep it seems that way

[PeachyPie93]

Not really I did six months when I was 22 and dropped out, then I went back and finished at 34

[ChicoFromThe305]

But you completed it the second time?

[PeachyPie93]

Yeah I took a different course and finished it

[Graptemys79]

Good for you!

[exitseven]

I took a year off after high school and went to college on an ROTC scholarship. After freshman year I lost the scholarship and went for one more semester on the money I had saved.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Interesting was it worth it?

[exitseven]

I was able to transfer 13 out of the 15 classes I took when I transferred to another school so I guess it was.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yep, "going to" is the right turn of phrase lol, I'm not going to say I paid the required attention, I had other things in mind

[ChicoFromThe305]

It be like that lol

[mandyfire98]

I did. I went to University of Kentucky and graduated with a bachelor's in psychology.

[ChicoFromThe305]

So did you do anything with your degree? Or you went directly to dancing?

[mandyfire98]

I was already part time teaching dance. I just turned it full time after college. Didn't do anything with my degree 😂

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol so you had your plans before you graduated 😂

[mandyfire98]

Not fully, no. It's one of those things where I got an opportunity dropped in my lap and I ran with it. To do anything that would actually make money in psychology I would've had to go after a doctorate. I make more now than I would have with a master's in psychology.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds like a ceasing the opportunity moment, can't think of anyone that wouldn't

[Potteplante]

No. I went and finished my profession bachelor in my late 20s tho.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That's still young tho I guess

[Paris13]

Writing Workshops For Formats in Dealing with my Plays As An Author. Also, Training for Health Aide person. xxoo

[Simslover92]

Yes and if there was a time machine I would go back.

[itsannalee]

Isn’t that everyone go to college? 🤔🤔🤔

[ChicoFromThe305]

I would imagine that is the considered "normal" thing to do.

[Jennz6]

I never finished high school

[ChicoFromThe305]

Felt that lol

[Paige90]

Yes I did and also graduate school

[CubaPirate]

Only one evening and a day release from my work place

[valentina4eva]

[ChicoFromThe305]

I know, that's why there shouldn't be zombies anywhere near you, they could probably smell your brain 🧟

[valentina4eva]

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't think it should be a priority unless you hear that zombies have become a thing lol

[valentina4eva]

[ChicoFromThe305]

If I was a zombie I wouldn't eat your brain, id just protect it like the squirrel from ice age protects the acorn 😂
