Most of my cousins have already graduated with their master's degree and are getting jobs. They are even getting houses, having babies etc.. I, on the other hand, is still living with my mom. I have moved out a few times, but never could securely be independent. It is not that I don't want too, it just that it seems it made more sense economically. I attempted to get my bachelor's going through an online program so I can work while I study. Doing it online was taking too long because with working 40 hours, I could only take one class at a time.
My parents want me to just work and not earn a degree. They want me to be independent and move out of their house. Trust me! I do not want to live with my parents. I truly hate it here, but I know in the long run I will be better off. It is a lunch off the pad for the bigger goal.
This what brought me to the big question, " Is 31 too old to attempt a career?". Should I leave it alone and just go after promotions within a good company. There has been plenty of people that were very successful that never had a college education. It is not required right!? But it does for what I want to do. I guess in the long run it is never too late to start and it doesn't matter how long it takes. It just matters if my heart is in it, right?
