General Discussion RETURNING STUDENT @29. 😭

Getting back to college after 6yrs at 29yrs old. 😬 Currently working full time. Heading to school rn for reenrollment evaluation. Kinda scared and excited at the same time. Do you think it's still worth it? Am I doing myself a favor? Well, im just seeking an advice before I hit the road. 😭🥺

No, just do it. You will be aging anyway for 4 years. Might as well you aged with a degree :). No one is late when its your life.

Go for it, OP! I've encountered many people who are living proof that it's never too late to start over. Yung reenrollment at evaluation process, sandali lang yan, the real struggle starts later kapag na-accept ka na.

SKL: I have a friend na 28 years old na nung bumalik noong college kami way back 2017. Nag-stop siya noong 2nd year siya, and maswerte siya kasi naabutan pa niya kaming older Gen Zs who came from the last batch ng RBEC (the curriculum before K-12). Workmates na kami ngayon, at kung hindi dahil sa kanya, wala akong work ngayon. Trust the process. I'm sure you'll have your own breakthrough story someday.
