What it is like in college when you are over 30?
I first started in college when I was in my earlier thirties and took a break, then started again at fifty. I have to say that my grades are much better than any grades I achieved in high school. Motivation plays a large role in my desire to do well and attain my associate’s degree in accounting. In high school, it was a lot harder to stay focused on your studies, with so many changes happening in your live when you are a teenager. Most adults that are going to college are also working full time jobs and some are still taking care of young children. Many adults want to get their degree so they can get a better paying job and give more to their families. Going to college as an older adult helps to keep your mind sharp and keeps you well informed about current affairs. You are never too old to learn something new.
