What Age Did You Get Your Bachelors?

25 y/o. BS, Mech Eng.

I took 3 years off after sophmore year and sailed around the world.

 

Did you notice this was post #666 for you? Should be a clue.

Not that it matters at all, but I was 23.
It took me 4.5 years after high school to get my 4 year degree.
Degree was a B.S. in Computer Science.

Just curious, what will "getting a sense" of when others got their degree do for you?

Here is a pic of your milestone post.

About 2 months before I turned 21. Biggest mistake of my life. I wish I was a college student for the rest of my life. I suggest every student stay to be at least a 5th year senior (I'm serious about this). Job market will always be there.

 

I was 22, but matched Mr toggie for the rest; finished my course work in '86, graduated officially in '87.

Don't sweat a year or two - get the experiences and realize the year's are going to roll over you if you're in school or working anyways.

 

when I was 24 an returning to undergrad I felt like an f-up... 3 years older than most other in my classes... and when I graduated I felt like an old man (comparitively). worked for 4 years as an engineer before returning to grad school, and by the end of those 4 years of work, the age difference was forgotten...

you may not realize it now, any experiences you have, including other majors, isn't time "wasted". I used to call my time sailing and my time working as an engineer "wasted", but now looking back, I wouldn't trade it for the world. most of my partner's have said they wish they wouldn't have gone straight through...

My Life motto: "Life is a journey, not a destination."

Agreed. And, if I could swing it, a 6th and 7th year!

 

I was a 4th year sophomore at Half Assed U when I got serious about majoring in accounting in 1975. (I got a high draft number in 1970, and the living was easy.) I finally graduated in 1977.

My problem is that I never learned to stop. I got a Ph.D. in 1988.

PS I was 25 in 1977.

 

Free Shoes University? Unconquered in the classroom?

 

22.

 

I was 25. I did one year right after high school then I was a church missionary for two years. I started school two weeks after I got home as a 21 year old; four years later I had a degree. So, five years total. One year after graduation I started an MBA and I'm almost finished with it.

 

BFA at 21...this past september.

Wish I was still in school....

 

21

thats 3 majors in 5 years. Finally 1 major, 2 minors on sheepskin and had already started working in the biz of my major at that point.

wished i'da stayed in school longer. it was so much fun.

 

25 for BS
29 for 2 MBA's

 

I was 23, when I got my degree in business. It took 5 years. Could've been less but my first couple years were spent trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself.

 

Hey, at least we pretend to go to class unlike those schools south of the Swanee river.

21 for BS. 22 for MS.

Don't worry about it. I loved being in school. Plus once you're out and working people's ages vary so much it won't matter. Just keep on keepin' on.

 

I guess we'll see you west of the Suwannee river next year at Doak Campbell. Us Gators don't need no stinkin' class! Got too many championships to win.

 

BS in 1977 at age 27. Age didn't matter at all.

Short Answer: 25+
Slightly Longer: 30 for 1st BS
32 for 2nd BS

Graduate soon....

 

1977 was a very good year, eh? I graduated in 1976 and got married in 1977. We just celebrated our 30th!
