How old were you when you graduated (If applicable)? - Page 2

I finished my BA when I was 30, after 4 years of hard graft.

Working full-time and studying at evenings and weekends is HARD! If you can afford to be a student full-time, take that opportunity and make the most of it.

was 21 when i graduated with a Bsc in Business Information Systems from Portsmouth University

34 when I finished my German (country not language) Business Degree. 6 years of the US Army and teaching myself German got in the way.

Um, I didn't go to college until I was 30.....and it took 5 years.....and, nope, I refuse to date myself.

(ok, I'm not as old as dirt quite yet)

At age 25 I told my boss where to shove his dead end job.

At age 29 I graduated - B.E.(Chem) - First Class Honours

B.Sc. (Biology) age 21, Tulane University
M.D., age 25, University of Texas (Southwestern) Medical School
I pretty much kept my nose to the grindstone until I reached my goal. Not that I wasn't tempted to take a year off.

[/QUOTE]I won't be going to Oakland University for my teaching degree. [img]tongue.gif[/img] And you have a B.S. degree, while mine is a B.A.

Of course, great minds such as us U of M grads are always similar!

I earned an Associates in Electronic Data Processing at age 20, and a BS in Computer Science at age 23. My only mistake was getting out of school and thinking "Well, that's over with." Nope. If you're in a technical field, plan on continuing your education throughout your career.

B.S. in Agronomy at Texas A&M University in 1976 (age 21)
