It's been approx. a year & a half since i graduated highschool (i graduated in June of 2005), and i'm still unsure about what i want to do in life. When I did graduate, it seemed as if i was the only person who hadn't secured a college. Most of my friends often boasting about how they'd been accepted into so-and-so university, or how they were "touring" the colleges they'd been accepted into... and there i was like a misguided idiot, aspiring for other things. Do you think it's too late for me to start? Was there many 20-21 yr/old freshman when you went? WHat advice can you give me? bjjd

Also, I live in Utah so it's the norm to see a lot of 21-22 year first year students since they returning missionaries. You have ignored this user.

TapoutRookie Edited: 29-Nov-06 Member Since: 01/01/2001 Posts: 2394	i started at 32 and I am still attending. I think the chicks like the fact I am older. I am more mature, have life experience and don't act like a punk gang banger wanna be. Plus I have a nice vehicle and a steady job. You have ignored this user.

Also, a lot of people in college end up switching majors or failing cuz they party too much so basically you'll probably have as many credits after one year compared to someone whose been there for 2 or 3.

I'm not saying that you can't be successful without it, but IMHO the odds are stacked against you without a degree. Go to school. There are a ton of hot chicks there. You have ignored this user.
