Museeip Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 A few years ago (when I turned 30) I realized I wanted to go back to school and get my degree. It has been three long hard years, but I'm happy to say that Sunday that all ended when I graduated(Magna Cum Laude) with my BS in Industrial Design. Although I am 34 I feel great about just finishing. I just wanted to post this in case any of you might have thought about going back to school, but thought it was too late. It's never too late!

Tedster Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Rock, Museeip! Congrats! I was 32 when I graduated with my degree in meteorology from Florida State. I'm 48 now...and toying with the idea of getting an M.P.A. with an emphasis in disaster and emergency preparedness.

The funny thing is that now that I have it, I most likely will not use it. I'm moving back to Detroit to play in Flagship's band, Gifthorse. Since the job market in Detroit is very poor, especially for design, I might end up swinging a hammer again. Oh well...got something nice to hang on the wall..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCustom Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Congratulations, Museeip! Graduating in your early twenties when there's someone to foot the bills is not nearly as hard as doing it in your early thirties when you have to make your own way. I think that's a great accomplishment. You also now have the satisfaction of knowing you did it. Hopefully it will be useful to you, too.

Compact Diss Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Awesome! Congratulations! I'm 34, In January I begin my journey towards a BA. It's never too late! One class a semester will take me nine years to get the BA but I heard this a long time ago. "Would you rather be 50 without a degree or 50 without a degree?"

Dr. Ellwood Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Good job man!! you will never be sorry you worked so hard! no matter what your age it is a great thing to do.

I know I can be successful in many fields if I apply myself, just not sure if I'd enjoy sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprae Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Like Dear Abbey or Ann or one of those twins used to say: In four years you'll be four years older whether you get your degree or not.
