28 Years-Old and Want to Get an Engineering or CS Degree, Should I At This Point?

<p>We believe in you man.</p>

<p>I’ll be 25 on Nov 5th.
I have 3 Kids; 7, 5, 4 yrs old.</p>

<p>I’m not about to bum around and feel like I’m too old, got to do what I’ve got to do, somebody is counting on me, on you as well.</p>

<p>This $10-$17 job isn’t going to cut it. A Degree is the window for opportunity.</p>

<p>I’ll be transferring to A&M in Fall 2013, and most likely receiving a Bachelor in Petroleum Engineering when I’m 27 in 2015.</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>I am a 30-year-old engineering physics major (computer science concentration). Do I often feel out of place among a jillion fresh-faced 18, 19, and 20-year-olds? Yes, but sometimes I’ll see a student even older than myself.</p>

<p>Oh, and my dad is in his fifties and in college for nursing.</p>

<p>You’re never too old to educate yourself.</p>

<p>I had a similar situation (well, different reasons but the end result about the same). I went to a community college to do my first two years. Many colleges will consider your gap, and that you’ve come back and made life changes when looking at previous bad grades. </p>

<p>At my community college there were running start students, and ex military. There were many ages. I will graduate at 30, and I’m glad I went back.</p>

<p>I forgot to add, I ended up getting ~$30k/year in scholarships/grants because of my life experiences for my last two years (when I went to a University). Don’t give up on yourself.</p>
