Is starting college at 30 years old a bad idea?
October 9th, 2009 | by admin |Since I was a kid I wanted to do something that dealt with ocean life. I went to sea camp at age 8 and I knew then that I wanted to be a marine biologist. But since I didn’t do too well in junior high and high school I didn’t follow my heart and become a marine biologist because I didn’t think I could handle the school work. I did graduate high school but barely. Afterwards I went to a crappy non college credited culinary school and became a chef instead. I do enjoy cooking and have been moderately successful at it. However, I can’t help but fear that when I get older that I will have missed out on my true passion. I’m thinking about starting college to pursue being a marine biologist or zoologist with an emphasis on ocean life. I realize that it’s a hard field to excel in but even if I don’t land a high paying job or what not I would be happy at least knowing that I did it. I think now that I’m older and would be working towards something that I want more than anything I would be able to handle the school work. My wife is very supportive and wants me to do it. I just wanted to know if anyone by any chance has been in this situation or one similar. Thanks

To let you know i’ve had people aged 50 in my lecture classes and being fresh out of high school I monitored how they were treated from the rest of the class also around 19-18. There is nothing to be embarrassed about because the younger ppl don’t really care how old you are. The only rumors that went around the lecture theater was
‘hey look there’s a old guy" (other person) " I bet he watches the news" what i’m trying to say is us students don’t care what age you are as long as you have a cool personality its cool. Don’t let your age set you back!

Life…Knew what I wanted to do since early childhood, when I literally I could first think and first put two thoughts, two words together.
I’m looking at the down side of life now and all I see behind me are woulda’, shoulda’, coulda’.
JUST DO IT.
