Is 23 years old too old to go to college?

What should I go for. Im not interested in medical. I want to go to school to better myself but I still have no idea what I want to do. I want a job that makes pretty good money.

you’re never too old to go to college. if you are still struggling with what you want for a career, there is usually someone at the college that you can sit and talk with and figure that out. otherwise you can just take some classes that sound like fun, see what you like, and don’t like, and figure it out from there.

You are never too old. My sisterinlaw is over 40 and going to be a teacher in a couple of more years. About the same time her last child becomes a doctor. This is a woman who did not finish school until a couple of years ago. she married at 15 and raised two kids. I have known many others going to college and trade school at all ages. If you do not know where your talent lies junior colleges have free testing and even offer short courses that introduce you to many different things to help you decide. My 17 yr. old is graduating now a year early and has been taking information technology, automotive, medical classes spending 2 weeks in each to learn more. Good luck and give it a try. Pell Grants are available also and do not hav to be paid back.

NO 23 IS NOT TOO OLD

go for it!!!!!

getting into computers these days seems to pay well, so if your not interested in the medical field that might be a good direction to go. also getting into business may be a good investment of your time.

Best of wishes!

That isn’t too old, in fact some of the best students are the ones who wait a few years as they wind up taking their studies more seriously.

Take an aptitude test and find out what careers are best for you.

First of all 23 is not too old… I graduated with people that were 40+. Secondly, what is your hobby? If you enjoy doing something that you make no money at, and you can turn that into a career… you’ll never regret it.

Never too old, how about trying a technical school. They offer computer technology, massage therapist, automotive, diesel mechanics. Look around and compare tuition.

theres so much more than medical! also, 23 isnt too old, there are alot of people older than 23 in college. how about…psychologist, lawyer, teacher…there are lots of options! one suggestion is Mills College, it has alot of older students and is all women if u prefer that too.

A person is never too old for college if he or she wishes to learn.

Have you considered studying accounting or business management?

It is not too old at all. I have had people in my classes in their 50s who are looking to improve their work situations. Maybe you could go for business?
