Is 27 late to graduate college?
That's exactly what I did. I worked for four years before I decided to go to college, and when I went I did my degree work in sociology. I knew it was a "useless" degree, but it was what I was interested in and what I enjoyed studying. Fortunately, I was in a position that I didn't need to worry that much about what my degree was in, and it was a real luxury. Think of it this way: You're going to be 26 or 27 whether or not you go to college, but you'll either have a degree or you won't. It's never wrong to get more education and learn something new. Good luck to you!
Do you think that 23 is too late to graduate college?
Of course not. I am 52 and am enrolled in graduate school. I have a friend who is 57 and just completing a masters in english communication and wants to do a PhD. I started university when I was 21 and graduated at 26. Thanks Bill
Is it too late to send graduation announcements out, 15 days after graduation?
We failed to nag our son fro the info about grad invitations cap and gown etc, As time went on we felt he wasn.t a a candidate for graduation. So not sending out announcements seemed OK. However we learned he had a possibility of participating,appx 2+ weeks if and only if his grades were enough to proceed. Well May 25,2006 we learned he did what needed to be done and May 27,2006 he particiapated in the ceremony , and is a graduate of class 2006. We want to share this achievement with all our friends and family but is it too late for announcements 2+ weeks have passed?
I am 27 and I haven't graduated yet. Is it too late or not?
Thanks for A2A! 1. Sylvester Stallion was 31 when he was at the border of the rope and had to make a major decision. He chose to act in a porn film rather than robbing someone! 2. J K Rowling wrote the first edition of Harry Potter for over 5 years and was rejected by 12 publishers and she was unknown till she was 32!3. Harrison Ford was unknown till he did American Graffiti. He was then 32!4. YOU! Yeah.. You are asking this question because deep inside your heart, you know that you're not too late! What can you do? Graduation is merely a ceremony if you don't do it with interest. Go for it if you really wish for. Else, here are some good ideas for you to get started :1. Think and fix a skill. Learn it and pursue it. Skill can be carpentry, plumbing, electrical fixing, driving, etc. You'll earn moderately. But you'll have great satisfaction doing the work you like. 2. Startups! If you're brave enough, invest some money and start a business. The government has a lot of schemes supporting startups and you have a great chance if you work hard. 3. Be innovative. The world of internet provides you a lot of opportunities if you can come up with cool thoughts. This can be a good website or an android app or a YouTube channel! Think smart and act swift. Don't waste a single moment. Because I'll never say that 27 is early. But it's not late either.
What is the right age to graduate from an undergraduate college? Is 22 too old?
The "right" age to graduate is whatever age you are when you've fulfilled the requirements to obtain your degree--and even that is debatable.In the US, most people are 18 when they begin college. Thus many graduates are 22 when they finish a 4-year program on time.Some programs actually require a 5th year (or 10 semesters' worth of credits), so students are often older than 22 when they finish.Others, like me, go to college rather late. I opted for a heavy course load and finished quicker than 4 years, but was 27 when I graduated. At the time this felt "late," but my previous experience and relative maturity helped me get ahead quickly in the workplace, and at 30 I feel like I'm "on time" in my career progression (unless I'm using Zuckerberg as a benchmark!).
Is graduating with Bachelor’s degree at age 26 late?
Non-traditional? Yes. Late? No. I burned out on college after a year and a half (after skipping a grade and getting a National Merit Scholarship). My grades were slipping fast, and I didn't want to waste any more of my parents' money. I knew that if I actually failed out, I'd never go back. Skip ahead 20 years - I had recovered from the original stress, and was able to look at it objectively. I completely changed tracks, from Arts to Sciences, and enrolled in a non-traditional degree program. Some of my 20-year-old credits applied. At the age of 40, I was awarded a Bachelors degree. My GPA the first time around was a low "C". My GPA the second time around, using my own money and on a different track, was a high "A" - Dean's list, some semesters. A few years later, I earned my Masters degree.Keep working on developing yourself and never stop learning, but there are many definitions of learning, and most of it takes place outside of the classroom.One last thing - please don't use the fact of your non-traditional path as one more club to beat yourself with. Learn from where you've been, make peace with yourself, and move forward.

Adult Education: Is it too late for a 27 year old to pursue a graduate degree in a regular college with young students?
Is an age just a number? Isn't it true that Ivy league schools have age-discrimination practises? I was told about it by a very famous college coach. They are present in a Bachelor level at least.It is a humiliating experience to read the page dedicated to mature students on the web-site of Oxford University. Mature students are being made to fill helpless by all the advises how to tune on to a college experience. Again I don't know about graduate level, though. Are these things true and if so, why does it happen? Some people are constantly learning and studying all the life outside official settings just because were not able to have such a luxury experience as being a full-time student. Here is a ling to that web-page: http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/new...
Graduating college at 27?
No, of course you're not too old for hire, but obviously theres going to be a red flag raised as to why it took you 9 years to finish a 4 year program. In 9 years, PhD's, MD's, PharmD's, etc., could be earned. I hope you have good reasons as to why you took off a few months here and there, otherwise your employer or interviewer could see you as irresponsible and not committed. If the reasons are good, you could incorporate them into your interviews as to why they would make you a stronger candidate over others. Whatever the reasons are, you shouldn't have a problem finding a job, but don't expect to be paid/treated the same as your other 27 year old work-mates; they have a few years of work experience over you. However, it's never too late to start and 27 is a good ripe age. Good luck!
Is 27 too old to graduate with a masters degree?
Thanks for asking your question, Is 27 too old to graduate with a masters degree?”I do not believe so. I received my masters in public administration at over 50 years. Many teachers and educators attain their masters and doctorates at above age 30. Many MBA’s also graduate with a masters at 25 or older.If you are questioning getting a masters, you should consult any school why a masters is important, and then compare that answer with individuals who work in the industry or vertical market that you want to work in. Neither answer may be completely satisfying but it is better than pursuing the masters without sufficient data.
