Bachelors

How long has it taken some of you to earn your bachelors? I'm 23 almost 24 and just getting started!

I've been working on it for a year...but I am still stuck with her....heh

I am 28 and am getting ready to start college over from the beginning.

i played in a band full time from the time I graduated H.S. for like four years. So I didn't start on my bachelors until I was 22 ish. I was done at 26 i think.

I'm on the 5 1/2 - 6 year plan, or so.

ha..ha ha...ha. you're so clever.

I got mine at 24 but apparently they have these things called "masters" now. It suppose to be better or something.

Not really, if I was I woulda "gotten my bachlors" already...

Seriously though, don't sweat it (if that what you're doin) illcommunication...I just started my second career ....and turning 31 in a month.....that diploma will do ya good I'm sure, but you'll change your career again at some point.....if the stats are correct

Took me three years. But I majored in theatre, so my classes were all pretty easy. I want to go back and get my masters, but have to wait till I have the time and the money.

Don't believe the hype. For reals.

It took me 7 years. I started at community college, got to University and had to retake a bunch of classes, then changed my major.

i'm 30 and just finished the 'masters' thing.
i don't feel any better.

it took me 6 years for my bachelors (i dropped out a bunch).

i'm trying to find the right level of slack/ phd program.

I've dropped out, back in and out again. I'm thinking of going back full time and working part-time. The only bachelors I'll be getting any time soon comes in a packet and has a soup-like consistency.

i squeezed it out in the four years after high school but only because they let me use Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certification as 3 hourts of 300 level P.E. credit and a few other machinations.

that was back in the day, though, when they had things like 'aid' and 'grants' and it actually paid for most of your tuition.

I call it the Educational Hokey-Kokey.

And I clicked the wrong button.

woot! that's my major. 2 more years to go. I actually don't have that many classes left.

4 years. I know a lot of students here at IU take 5 years, but I never could have afforded a fifth year.

Oh, and I was 22, I think.

You'll be fine. First of all, a lot of people continue their education at later ages. It will be pretty difficult to keep up if you don't keep learning.

I'd also make the assertion that people would be better off waiting until they were a little more developed before choosing a school, major, etc. Asking an 18 year old to make decisions about their life's work seems a bit of a stretch in most cases.

I just finished my third year and without any catastrophes, I'll be finished in 4.

I thought this was gonna be about swingin' playboys like myself.

i started in 1990 and finally got my bachelor's this year.

Yeah, while my sister was studying her ass off as pre-law, I was slacking as a theatre major. Also, I graduated in half the time she did, and I got to travel the world as a roadie. Of course, she now makes more than ten times what I make.

Took me five years. I spent the first two in a BSc, then I moved to a BA (Japanese) when I realised science was lame. What's really a pity is that I'd have learned as much in an Arts degree anyway. Damn!

ive been going part time for 4 years and just changed my majors... im only 20, so no biggie... but i feel like its going to take a lifetime
