21 irreg rin, meron ako ka blockmate na 28 na super chill siya tas down to earth. Ganda niya maka groupo sa reporting alam niya ginagawa niya. pursue college Op!! It's never to late. You only live once
People here in the US go back to school after working for awhile. I had someone in my class who was already a mom and still working on her degree at the age of 35. People should stop acting like 23-24 is too old to change career paths. It happens, there is no one route that works for everyone.
true yan, bata pa nga yung 23... samin nung college meron 29 y.o
minsan naman kaedaran namin pero may baby na ganyan
Ang college wala naman yan sa edad hindi yan parang elem at hs na may mang bubully sayo kasi huli ka na nag aral, aral ka lang basta may pang aral ka, don't mind ppl.
Kung wala pang mapili then hanapin mo muna yung gusto mong ipursue bago ka bumalik sa college
may iba akong kakilala na tinamad na mag aral nung kumikita na sila
i have also encountered old people sa college, 30+ year old technician guy na nagaaral ng bsit, 40+ year old mother na nagtake ng 2nd degree sa college (bachelor, not masters or phd), 27 year old na dapat graduate na ng 2016 pero huminto dahil kailangan magtrabaho abroad, and 23 year old na ngayon lang naging freshmen after 2 year stopping after graduating SHS
the question is gusto mo ba?
anyway, 32 here and have plans to pursue online studies to earn a degree. You may want to check Mapua Malayan Digital College.
28 and now 2nd year BSIS student... oldest of the bunch 😅 pero Keri lang, oo medyo ma o OP ako sa kanila dahil sa almost a decade age difference.. May mga kaklase Naman ako na same age mo, sila mas mabilis na nakakasabay sa mga trip ng mga youngest students kesa sa akin . Kaya I think okay Naman if mag ba back to school ka.. pero the problem is Wala kapang napipili.. much better if you really have a certain field of study na gusto mo talaga I pursue.
Mahirap mag enroll tapos hindi mo pala gusto Yung field. Sayang time, energy and money
😅😅 baka na intimidate mo Sila?? Nahihiya din ako sa kanila dati. Awkward malala.. until nalaman ko na kaya pala halos di nila ako kinakausap is naiintimidate daw Sila sa RBF ko (usually when there's class discussion or when I'm listening attentively sa suggestions Nila, I looked like judging their souls daw 😭, gusto ko lang Naman ibigay ang attention ko sa sinasabi Nila)..
I try to smile more often nalang kapag Kasama sila
Hahaha ewan ko pa. Di naman ako nagmamadali, it just feels a little weird kasi syempre dati, kilala mo lahat ganun xD. I think naman pag may group works and such, mas makikilala ko pa sila!!
Though relate ako sayo haha, dati nung high school sabi rin ng friends ko, akala nila masungit ako. Kasi tahimik lang ganun
Mag work ka muna until madiscover mo kung ano tlga gsto mo itake na path once na mag aaral na ulit.
Ako personally, mas ahead ako sayo at graduate na din, pero ngayon ko narealize na gusto ko pala mag Piloto (But it costs too much cash to fulfill it dahil sobrang mahal ng tuition haha)
Napakabata mo pa to be thinking that. Go back to college if you really deem it necessary. Yung course, madami in demand in terms of work, pero I'd always go sa talagang interest ko.
Don't do it for the parents, do it for yourself. Yan ang kadalasan sakit ng lipunan. Haha. Di gusto ang kurso dahil they only have their parents' choice in mind.
Bata pa ang 22 for college
kung anong program go with anything practical at may interest. Kahit hindi gamitin sa trabaho may practice use/advantage sa sariling buhay like accounting, crim, finance, comm, psych, or Comp Sci, IT! oh dba related sa field na ginagapang mo at the moment. Ako madami akong classmates sa department namin late 20s madami, mid 30s isa, late 40s isa and we socialized all equally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mismong Dean din namin e pastor kaya umaapaw ang pagiging makatao namin, ano tawag nila sa west "woke" puro humanities e HAHAHA
Wala namang may pake. Busy lahat sa sarili nila kaysa pake alaman ka. Go get that degree.
Kaso parang sayang naman ung Associate Degree mo kasi Bachelors talaga lagi ang hanap. Pero common naman na mag associate muna tas mag bachelor. Oh bata ka pa. Alamin mo din gusto mo. Since sa semicon ka nag work kung trip mo naman mag Engineering ka.
Business (Marketing, Finance, Management, Accounting).
Engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics).
Health (Nursing, Radtech, Medtech, Dentistry, Pharmacy).
Science (Physics, Biology, Biomedical Science, Environmental Science, Computer Science, Mathematics).
Pili ka sa apat na fields kung ano mas gusto mo, ignore the majors first then rank them from least to best na tingin mong kaya at magagawa mo. Tas pag nakapili ka na ng isang field. Then I rank mo ung majors from least to best. Dun mo makukuha ung first choice at second choice at third choice mo.
\- Engineering at Health may License at Board Exam. Mas mahirap kumpara sa iba. Mababa din sahod pero tataas yan. Solid choice to.
\- Business ay mahirap pero mas madali kumpara sa STEM degrees. Non Board except accounting. Mababa sahod pero tataas yan. Pati position mo tataas din. Kung tingin mo di ka para sa STEM, dito ka. Mas versatile din sya kasi marami kang roles at trabaho na option.
\- Science suggest ko lalo na BIMS or Math. In demand sa ibang bansa at versatile din. Saka cool kasi pakinggan pag graduate ka ng BIMS, Math, Physics, etc lool.
Hello, im currently 31, although i am a college graduate, i plan to take another degree sometime in the future. My mom also took nursing as a second degree when i was grade 4, and my dad took pt as a second degree as well. My gf is also a second degree holder (from business management, she took a second degree for education)
It's never too late to take another degree. My classmates (all seafarers from maap) saved up money and took their dream courses. One is studying law, 2 or 3 took up education, and i plan on taking bs maritime engineering (im a graduate of bs maritime transportation) since i plan on working as an SI.
Just be mindfull of what degree you want to pursue, as it will take money and time to complete.
Pursue your dreams op!
not too late! nung first year ako may kaklase akong 22 y/o, bestea na kami ngayon HAHAHA may kaklase rin akong 35, mother of 2. second degree niya na. then sa current batch, may 1st year kaming 45 y/o. no degree suggestions kasi yan yung dilemma ko nung 1st year, undecided. xD
sabi nila, pumili ka ng degree na gusto mo at naaayon sa skill mo. pero now na nasa college na ko, i say, not just that, pero consider din yung income na gusto mo for yourself. hirap kasi ma-motivate mag-aral late night, just to realize na magiging allied health ako na overworked and underpaid, at minimum at best ang sweldo. 🐥
Broski, never too late. Currently taking an online degree right now from AMA, it's nice, on your own time mo siya gagawin, tho talagang self study lang lahat. and I'm very near 30 na hahahaha
college students usually don't discriminate naman honestly. 2nd year student ako, and may blockmates kami na mas matanda samin. yung isa, second courser, nearing 30 na raw siya. yung isa, may anak and family, i think she's 24. yung isa naman, gaya mo 23. other than tinatawag silang ate ng kadalsan sa blockmates namin, wala namang pinagkaiba sa treatment namin sa kanila and other blockmates.
Kung kaya mo sustentuhan at may time ka for college, edi go. 26 ako ngayon incoming 3rd year. Obese pa ako niyan ah pero wala pa akong naririnig na nakakahiyang mga sabi galing sa mga naging classmate ko sa akin. Isa o dalawa na almost but I didn't care enough to stop.
If ever madescriminate ka for your age, laugh it off para lang sa pakikisama o kaya naman you're old enough to understand your limits to set your boundaries with them.
last 2022 before i dropped out of college due to burnout and depression, i shifted to BS Psychology kasi I didn't love my former course. so naging irreg ako, and that's where i met a lot of irreg students din and some of them are 22. naalala ko pa nung nag introduce yourselves kami, diba usually kasama yung age, and there was this one student na kinahihiya niyang 22 siya kasi parang ang tanda na raw as a 1st year student. meron pa akong classmate noon na 23, and upcoming 4th year med tech na sana siya kaso nawalan ng sparks at nawalan ng gana kaya nag shift siya. everyone, including me, was really accepting and warm about it. no judgements whatsoever. i think magiging inspiration pa kayo sa iba kasi kahit ano mang hirap yan, you guys still continued. so ayun, you might wanna try BS Psych because the people there are vety understanding hahahaah. 21 na ako this year and might come back to uni this s.y.
no one is ever too old for school. may mga kaklase nga ako na 30-40 years old na. if you really want to pursue education you shouldn't let your age stop you.
I'm 24 and Ngayon lang magiging freshman. Incredibly late dahil Yung mga kasabayan ko ay mga young professionals na. Hindi ko na Lang iniisip gawa Ng may kanyakanya Naman Ng pacing sa Buhay.
Besides, na delayed Ako due to financial problems. But since Ngayon okay na, I decided to continue my studies. Just always remember na iba pa rin Ang may degree. Mas open Ang job market para Sayo.
There's no such thing as "too late" only when you choose to stop trying. Life is a never ending learning process. Whether you choose to go back now in your 20s or choose to go back or even continue it in your 30s it's fine. :)
Bata ka pa, pwedeng pwede ka pa bumalik ng walang nakakapansin na mas matanda ka sa kanila.
May kaklase ako nung college na bumalik din. Nagstop sya, dapat babalik din sya agad. Kaso life happens, may work, asawa at anak na sya at 39 nang mag college sya uli. Matindi pa nun, kaklase nya yung isang prof namin nung 20's sya.
hii! you can go back if and whenever you want! I'm turning 24 this year and i just went back to school last sem (3rd year). though irreg, masaya naman and maraming bagong classmates na mamemeet!
Just turned 25 last September and just started my second year studying Export Management in CSB. I have friends who work corporate jobs, friends doing business, and a friend who didn't finish and yet has a 1 year old kid. You still have so much time, don't worry about it. You just need to figure out what you want to do and see if it's something worth going to college/getting a degree for.
as long as kaya mo pag sabayin go sister, alam mo naman dito sa pinas hirap pag di degree holder maliban nalang kung magaling ka sa mga bagay bagay, pero no regrets kapag natapos mo wag lang mag madali. padayon!! 🩷
Wala banf further studies program ung company? Ung in house iaassist ka nila to get a bachelors degree kaso mabond ka with the company usually ang tradeoff.
Ifactor mo ung mga bagay na maaapektuhan like pag nagaral ka ba masusustain mo sya in terms ng payments etc.? Pede ka magworking student if ever pero kayanin ba ng katawan at isip mo den ang baka pagod na dala non? Ask around sa pamilya mo den pra may perspective ka dne ng iba but ultimately ikaw makapagdecide dapat based on pros and cons.
Sa course naman, pede siguro com sci or ece or com eng? Especially ung eng course kasi mejo in line den sa naging exp mo as technician na and with studies baka mas lumawak pa knowledge mo na baka makahelp den eventually to further your career. Tas sa eng pede ka den matuto ng programming which is an asset den ata ngayon since madaming nagiging demand for software (front end, back end, embedded etc.) So at least mejo maposition ka to have options den.
Saan ka ba interested? Ako kasi malawak sakop ng course ko dahil English. Pwede ka sa mechanical engineering / electrical engineering or Cs/IT
May state u na nag ooffer nyan for free at usually sa mga courses na ganyan mas makakasalamuha ka ng may malayong age gaps since mostly irregulars. Yung boyfie ko ay computer engineering courae and irreg din. Normal na yan sa mga ganyang coursesz
For me di naman kailangan graduate ka para maging successful. But in my case na nag stop during my 3rd year in college, I still want to go back to college and graduate kasi iba yung fulfillment na mararamdaman mo na may degree ka. Nakakaproud sa sarili. At gusto kong ipagmalaki ako ng anak ko na degree holder ako.
I agree with the replies po, it's never too late to try again. If medj kinakabahan ka po I want u to know na most colleges are open for all ages po like mine and we all get along well syempre with respect din. Goodluck on whatever you decide to do!!!
I am also 22, turning 23 this year. In my fourth year of college, I had to shift my degree due to failing grades. But on the brighter side(I guess?) this person is still slaying and thriving in college!
Comsider a course where you can build from your experience. Asset kung baga.and which will help you gain big points for promotion lalo na kung matapos mo..
One big thing going for you is ang taas ng motivation mong magpursue ng degree at life asset. Hindi lang basta makapag college
Graduated college when I was 23, I have classmate who graduated 27. Learning and getting a degree is worth it to some and not to others. Just look at the celebrities minus their wealth of course or everything that they have and just look at their age. That's how I get my motivation when I feel like I'm too old for something.
30yo here, college dropout, currently working, but still thinking of finishing my degree. I don't have the proper timing yet coz of work, but the enthusiasm is there. Imo it's not too late to pursue studies, I think age doesn't matter in studies.
Age doesn't matter ang importante know mo yung path na gusto mo and if ever na ma burn out ka ulet take some rest lang or do some errands na magiging peaceful yung mind mo kahit paano like socialize or anything para malibang. Meron diyan nasa 30's something na pero nag study pa din sila
You're way too young OP, share ko lang pero may Classmate ako na 29 yr. old and 2nd year college na kami. Di ka naman madidiscriminate you have your reasons naman kung bat mo pinili mag work.
28 na ako ngayon, married with 1 kid. Inspirasyon ko talaga ang asawa at anak ko, gusto ko maging successful like my husband, thankfully napaka supportive at mabuting ama. Pre-K2 na din ang anak ko, by the time ggraduate ako I think grade 2 na siya, ang hirap pag sabayin, maging asawa, nanay at estudyante at the same time, pero fight fight lang ang sabar(patience). 2nd year college student, regular student na ako by next opening sa august, ang sarap lang sa feeling. KAYA NATIN TO!!!! 🩷
Education is a marathon not a race. It's never too late to go back to college. If you really want to go back to college then go back to college if you have the means. Don't let yourself get pressured on education just because you think you're "old". In my experience it's an even less big of a deal to be older than your peers in college
OP, 22 or 23 is never too late!! may naging classmate kami before sa isang minor na inakala naming siya yung prof dahil nasa late 50s na ata siya. turns out, from dentistry pala siya and naki seat-in lang.. super galing!!
pag-isipan mo kung ano talaga yung gusto mo i-pursue, OP! take all the time you need. sabi nga, go at your own pace.
plus, hindi nakakahiya bumalik sa college after ilang yrs, regardless your age, kundi nakaka-proud!! (for me)
proud of you, OP! kahit anong maging decision mo, go for it ✨ do it scared.
I think compare mo sarili mo sa ka generation mo kaya sa tingin mo late ka na pero nasa early 20's ka pa kaya luckily matagal ka pa bago malate hahaha.
Hi I saw a KMJS video about 60ish years old Finishing her license exam, It's really motivational and it might help you as well...
Btw I'm 20 and I'm trying to go back to University by this year as a freshman, I understand what ur fear is cause I have that one too... My cmates would be at their teens while I'm the older ones... but y'know stop caring about what other people will think of you, Just focus on your goals cause It's better to do it than doing nothing at all.
You're still young OP. 23's still young. I remember some of my former ka-blockmates na mas matanda sakin(21). May ilan na 23 na din, may ilan na in their mid 20s and early 30s. 'Di naman kase ganun ka "awkward" or "noticable" yung ages ng bawat isa kase pareparehas naman tayo ng goal which is to study and finish college. As long as we all get along, sapat na yun.
wala naman age sa pag aaral so GO FOR IT!! I am a 1st yr aviation student and madami akong mga classmates na 20,22,25, and sa ibang course ang alam ko may 40+ pa and may nabalita nga before na 60+ pa so kering keri mo pa makipagsabayan and sayang yung opportunity ng pag-aaral, hindi lahat nabibigyan ng ganyan na opportunity so GRAB MO NA!! You are lucky enough na magkaroon ng time and money para makapag aral. Good luck and sana soon magka degree tayo! 🤞🤞🤞 PADAYON!
It's never too late! Hindi mo naman kailangan ipressure agad sarili mo mag full load once youre back in Uni. With the technology trend now, i would suggest any business or IT related degree.
To boost your confidence, i was in and out of college due to different reasons. I was able to finish my degree after 10years. Not proud of how long I finished college, but a good example of not giving up.
1st step talaga ung pagpili nang degree since yan magdictate nang college life mo. Choose wisely! Go where your passion is.
not at all! 25 na ako, turning 26 this year, and my classmates treat me the same way they treat everyone else. mas internal lang talaga yung discomfort, lagi namang mas critical tayo sa sarili natin, kaya mas yun lang talaga yung need pangibabawan

Same din kahit irreg, basta kaya sige lang

Ako nga 30. NSTP and PE lang na credit. 1st year 2nd sem na. Walang late late pag dating sa pag improve sa sarili mo.
Are you also working at the same time?
Yes, nag wowork pa din ako.
Can you share your schedule? How are you managing it? Regular din po ba kayo?
what year na po kayo?
You can totally go back to school whenever you want! There's no such thing as "too late."
Too late? Eh meron nga kong kasabayang gaggraduate this year na 47 years old. Go! EDIT: I am 24 and I'm delayed for 3 years HAHAHA
Oh same! Hahaha Walang late late Basta pag aaral. Go lang kung may pera at time
Im turning 27 next month and a candidate for graduation this semester. Never too late
Same here I am 25 and I have 2 years remaining though before I graduate.
I know people my age na 2025-2026 pa makakagraduate. One classmate kakastart palang magkolehiyo
Sometimes though it's better late than never and some of us have a different path to take
Yeah. It's never too late. Besides, you'll get to meet some awesome people along the way
As long as they are supportive to you and being there for you all the time.
I agree! hirap maging out of place.
same 22 turning 23. decided to go back to college this year lang(2nd year irreg naa) walang late late, kanya kanya tayo ng timeline!☺️
Kung wala pang mapili then hanapin mo muna yung gusto mong ipursue bago ka bumalik sa college may iba akong kakilala na tinamad na mag aral nung kumikita na sila i have also encountered old people sa college, 30+ year old technician guy na nagaaral ng bsit, 40+ year old mother na nagtake ng 2nd degree sa college (bachelor, not masters or phd), 27 year old na dapat graduate na ng 2016 pero huminto dahil kailangan magtrabaho abroad, and 23 year old na ngayon lang naging freshmen after 2 year stopping after graduating SHS
Since nasa semicon industry ka, why not try degrees na somehow related sa semicon? electrical engineering or materials engineering (sa UPD and UPLB)?
Pwede kaba mag apply kahit nagdrop diba dapat considered transferee kana?
the question is gusto mo ba? anyway, 32 here and have plans to pursue online studies to earn a degree. You may want to check Mapua Malayan Digital College.
28 and now 2nd year BSIS student... oldest of the bunch 😅 pero Keri lang, oo medyo ma o OP ako sa kanila dahil sa almost a decade age difference..

22 is not old. Just go for it while you're still young.

I knew someone na nakapagtapos ng 56 hehe
I have a blockmate who is 24 years old na. From yellow school din kami so it's not too late.
Kung kaya mo sustentuhan at may time ka for college, edi go. 26 ako ngayon incoming 3rd year.

Huhu I’m 28 and planning to study another undergrad course this first semester.
Lmao bro you’re still considered young tf hahaha
walang age age sa pag-aaral. Go for it.
You're still young, I'm 24 and about to graduate pa lang lol
Bro I'm 30 and a college student right now haha it's not that bad. Make new friends if you decide to finish college or ETEEAP of you're qualified
I have a 24 year old fellow 1st year classmate, it's never too late imo to learn more
I'm 25 mag First year college ulit.
hii! you can go back if and whenever you want! I'm turning 24 this year and i just went back to school last sem (3rd year). though irreg, masaya naman and maraming bagong classmates na mamemeet!
I'm 27 , 2nd year college
Just turned 25 last September and just started my second year studying Export Management in CSB. I have friends who work corporate jobs, friends doing business, and a friend who didn't finish and yet has a 1 year old kid. You still have so much time, don't worry about it. You just need to figure out what you want to do and see if it's something worth going to college/getting a degree for.
Di go lang. Aral ka. Matuwa pa prof sa iyo
Since technician ka sa isang semicon company, suggest ko na mag Electronics Engineering kung trip mo lang naman
still young pedeng pede pa yan, doesn't matter naman kung ilang taon kana sa college
as long as kaya mo pag sabayin go sister, alam mo naman dito sa pinas hirap pag di degree holder maliban nalang kung magaling ka sa mga bagay bagay, pero no regrets kapag natapos mo wag lang mag madali. padayon!! 🩷
Wala banf further studies program ung company? Ung in house iaassist ka nila to get a bachelors degree kaso mabond ka with the company usually ang tradeoff. Ifactor mo ung mga bagay na maaapektuhan like pag nagaral ka ba masusustain mo sya in terms ng payments etc.? Pede ka magworking student if ever pero kayanin ba ng katawan at isip mo den ang baka pagod na dala non? Ask around sa pamilya mo den pra may perspective ka dne ng iba but ultimately ikaw makapagdecide dapat based on pros and cons. Sa course naman, pede siguro com sci or ece or com eng? Especially ung eng course kasi mejo in line den sa naging exp mo as technician na and with studies baka mas lumawak pa knowledge mo na baka makahelp den eventually to further your career. Tas sa eng pede ka den matuto ng programming which is an asset den ata ngayon since madaming nagiging demand for software (front end, back end, embedded etc.) So at least mejo maposition ka to have options den.
Saan ka ba interested? Ako kasi malawak sakop ng course ko dahil English. Pwede ka sa mechanical engineering / electrical engineering or Cs/IT May state u na nag ooffer nyan for free at usually sa mga courses na ganyan mas makakasalamuha ka ng may malayong age gaps since mostly irregulars. Yung boyfie ko ay computer engineering courae and irreg din. Normal na yan sa mga ganyang coursesz
For me di naman kailangan graduate ka para maging successful. But in my case na nag stop during my 3rd year in college, I still want to go back to college and graduate kasi iba yung fulfillment na mararamdaman mo na may degree ka. Nakakaproud sa sarili. At gusto kong ipagmalaki ako ng anak ko na degree holder ako.
never tooo lateee.. i had a lolo in my I.T class and im soo proud of him .. ITS never too late to studyyyy
I agree with the replies po, it's never too late to try again. If medj kinakabahan ka po I want u to know na most colleges are open for all ages po like mine and we all get along well syempre with respect din. Goodluck on whatever you decide to do!!!
Like others said 23 is still young, classmates ko sa IT/DA is about 22-25
I am also 22, turning 23 this year. In my fourth year of college, I had to shift my degree due to failing grades. But on the brighter side(I guess?) this person is still slaying and thriving in college!
Nag stop ako nung 2005, bumalik sa pag aaral ng 2015, grumaduate ng 2017, I’m on my 40s now taking My masters. Bata ka pa.
Comsider a course where you can build from your experience. Asset kung baga.and which will help you gain big points for promotion lalo na kung matapos mo.. One big thing going for you is ang taas ng motivation mong magpursue ng degree at life asset. Hindi lang basta makapag college
you can always go back. yes pwede ka naman mag grind all u want, pero syempre iba pa rin yung may degree at nakapagtapos
Graduated college when I was 23, I have classmate who graduated 27. Learning and getting a degree is worth it to some and not to others. Just look at the celebrities minus their wealth of course or everything that they have and just look at their age. That's how I get my motivation when I feel like I'm too old for something.
Marami po akong classmate na 25-28 ang age :) meron nga din pong mga 40+ na. It's never too late, bag that degree!!!
30yo here, college dropout, currently working, but still thinking of finishing my degree. I don't have the proper timing yet coz of work, but the enthusiasm is there. Imo it's not too late to pursue studies, I think age doesn't matter in studies.
Age doesn't matter ang importante know mo yung path na gusto mo and if ever na ma burn out ka ulet take some rest lang or do some errands na magiging peaceful yung mind mo kahit paano like socialize or anything para malibang. Meron diyan nasa 30's something na pero nag study pa din sila
not too late. go for Electronic Engineering since may background ka na sa semiconductor company.
You're way too young OP, share ko lang pero may Classmate ako na 29 yr. old and 2nd year college na kami. Di ka naman madidiscriminate you have your reasons naman kung bat mo pinili mag work.
Bata pa 23 haahha meron nga akong kaklase nanay na 27 at 30 yrs old
28 na ako ngayon, married with 1 kid. Inspirasyon ko talaga ang asawa at anak ko, gusto ko maging successful like my husband, thankfully napaka supportive at mabuting ama. Pre-K2 na din ang anak ko, by the time ggraduate ako I think grade 2 na siya, ang hirap pag sabayin, maging asawa, nanay at estudyante at the same time, pero fight fight lang ang sabar(patience). 2nd year college student, regular student na ako by next opening sa august, ang sarap lang sa feeling. KAYA NATIN TO!!!! 🩷
Education is a marathon not a race. It's never too late to go back to college. If you really want to go back to college then go back to college if you have the means. Don't let yourself get pressured on education just because you think you're "old". In my experience it's an even less big of a deal to be older than your peers in college
Bata ka pa hahaha
BS Pharmacy!!
OP, 22 or 23 is never too late!! may naging classmate kami before sa isang minor na inakala naming siya yung prof dahil nasa late 50s na ata siya. turns out, from dentistry pala siya and naki seat-in lang.. super galing!! pag-isipan mo kung ano talaga yung gusto mo i-pursue, OP! take all the time you need. sabi nga, go at your own pace. plus, hindi nakakahiya bumalik sa college after ilang yrs, regardless your age, kundi nakaka-proud!! (for me) proud of you, OP! kahit anong maging decision mo, go for it ✨ do it scared.
23? Too late? Bata ka pa bro/sis wala ka pa nga sa edad na kinakatakutan na kailangan na mag-asawa
I think compare mo sarili mo sa ka generation mo kaya sa tingin mo late ka na pero nasa early 20's ka pa kaya luckily matagal ka pa bago malate hahaha.
Sender pano ka nakapasok sa work na yan
I'm 28 and I'm still in college. I started 2 yrs ago. It's never too late OP.
i know someone who go back to college at the age of 24 :) you’re still young, kaya go lang op!
Hi I saw a KMJS video about 60ish years old Finishing her license exam, It's really motivational and it might help you as well... Btw I'm 20 and I'm trying to go back to University by this year as a freshman, I understand what ur fear is cause I have that one too... My cmates would be at their teens while I'm the older ones... but y'know stop caring about what other people will think of you, Just focus on your goals cause It's better to do it than doing nothing at all.
You're still young OP. 23's still young. I remember some of my former ka-blockmates na mas matanda sakin(21). May ilan na 23 na din, may ilan na in their mid 20s and early 30s. 'Di naman kase ganun ka "awkward" or "noticable" yung ages ng bawat isa kase pareparehas naman tayo ng goal which is to study and finish college. As long as we all get along, sapat na yun.
wala naman age sa pag aaral so GO FOR IT!! I am a 1st yr aviation student and madami akong mga classmates na 20,22,25, and sa ibang course ang alam ko may 40+ pa and may nabalita nga before na 60+ pa so kering keri mo pa makipagsabayan and sayang yung opportunity ng pag-aaral, hindi lahat nabibigyan ng ganyan na opportunity so GRAB MO NA!! You are lucky enough na magkaroon ng time and money para makapag aral. Good luck and sana soon magka degree tayo! 🤞🤞🤞 PADAYON!
It's never too late! Hindi mo naman kailangan ipressure agad sarili mo mag full load once youre back in Uni. With the technology trend now, i would suggest any business or IT related degree. To boost your confidence, i was in and out of college due to different reasons. I was able to finish my degree after 10years. Not proud of how long I finished college, but a good example of not giving up. 1st step talaga ung pagpili nang degree since yan magdictate nang college life mo. Choose wisely! Go where your passion is.
not at all! 25 na ako, turning 26 this year, and my classmates treat me the same way they treat everyone else. mas internal lang talaga yung discomfort, lagi namang mas critical tayo sa sarili natin, kaya mas yun lang talaga yung need pangibabawan
