re: Going back to school in early 30s

IT is a good choice if you are going back to school. You will stand out a little bit if you're going to school with a traditional college-age population, but the students don't give a shite and the professors will actually like having an older student in class who takes the stuff more seriously. Use this to your advantage and get to know your professors especially in IT. They will have connections in the field and can help you get jobs and internships. I would recommend as much in person classes as you can. Building relationships with your professors and fellow students can be an important part of networking. Making friends with people in your classes and getting to know your professors can pay big dividends.

Enjoy being surrounded by younger women. There will be some women there who are closer to your age and some younger girls may like the idea of an older dude.

I went back in mid-thirties and the only regret you’ll ever have, is not doing it sooner!

I went back in my 40s for another degree when I changed fields. Its never too late, though its better to do it as early as possible.

I'm 41 and gonna use a program at USM that will take my AS degree into consideration for a BS. Gonna take me a couple of years but it's time.

Your thirties will be over whether you go back to school or not. Just do it. It sounds like your body will thank you later!

went back in my 30s to get m masters, go for it

LSU offers the same curriculum and specializations online if you need more flexibility.

LSU has really weird and odd specializations for their MBA. I think much of it has to do with not having the professors.

Now that I'm headed into Healthcare again, the MBA for Healthcare Management seems to be the ticket.

I delayed enrollment previously because the specializations were so odd: Healthcare Management, Emerging Tech and some kind of statistics.

Kind of weird not to have a Energy Management concentration being in frickin Louisiana .

The reason for considering business management was I was thinking I’d stay with the same company and just move to an office job with hopefully a little raise in pay and way less hours. Engineering was my first choice but I’ve always heard how hard classes can be. I have took some basics online and even though I had an A I didn’t feel like I actually gained much knowledge. I’d really like to stay on day shift and take night classes but I’m thinking it would be better to swap them because I’d have more free time on nights during the week to complete any home assignments. Maybe a mixture of online and on campus classes. I’m gonna contact an advisor and see what kind of schedule I can work out at my current job and try to enroll in the fall.

It’s easier when you are older imo.

You have more of an idea on how things work and most likely aren’t trying to go out and frick teenagers any chance you get.

Also to get credits out the way you can always take CLEP exams. It doesn’t go towards your gpa but will just count as a pass for graduating purposes.

There are places that if you use their material they will pay for the exam.

My wife (nudes on reddit) dropped out of college in her freshmen year at age 18. Went back to college at age 28 and finally finished at age 38 (having a kid in the middle of it all) as a DVM and makes six figures working three days a week. Better than waiting tables or sucking dick under a bridge.

I don't think of going to college in your 30's as a waste of a decade, it's probably better for a more mature person to go to college at that age than the teenagers being pumped into the system now. Do it.
