Is 29 too old to go back to college?

I'm 29 have a bachelors, and I'm returning to school this sememster to pursue a masters. You are only as old as you feel, and i normally feel like i'm 21.

 College,,,,the greatest place on earth.

School is a waste of money if you're paying for it at age 29.  $5000/semester + books + time.  You'll spend $50,000 in money + time. 

I recommend having your company pay for your 2nd or 3rd degree instead.  I got both my Masters in Management & some computer classes paid for, so nice.  I hate seeing the blind losers put their hope in a worthless degree & going into student loan debt.

It's funny & sad to see the dummies owing $100,000 to Uncle Sam for school & they can't get a job. 

Student debt is the worse debt, because you must pay it back. 

Credit Card debt is the best debt, because it can be EASILY ditched. 

I laugh at all the "college degreed" people that were dumb enough to believe "I deserve a job", what a joke. 

College is the biggest racket going on right now.  You'll finish with $50,000+ debt, wasted 4-years of your life, and ruin all your relationships because you're studying all the time. 

UNLESS somebody else pays your school, or you KNOW what you want to DO.  and you CAN GET A JOB in that field.......do NOT goto COLLEGE.

HELLO hasn't anyone looked out their window the last 3-4 years?

DO the math

4-5 years of your time + 100k of debt

How much extra in wages must you make to compensate for that?  I guess, all socially engineered gov't fairytale land economy things considered, someone with a degree starts to break even or pass their non college educated counterparts,,,,,,,,,,,by the time they're 50

just get an apartment in a college town and get to work

I'm not being naive, i know what i'm getting myself into.  I have a little money, and i have PLENTY of time on my hands, I'm just looking for something that i'm lacking in my life, I just feel like something is missing,,,,,

So I'm pursing my Masters in Kinesiology, focusing on sports training/personal training.  Who knows? maybe start working with our sports teams ,,,,,,my college is currently transitioning their sports to D 1.,,,,,,,,,,, Who knows what can happen ???? For me---it just feels like this is the right thing for my life right now,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes, being a personal trainer & massage therapist might be up your alley. 

oh no he didn't,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It currently costs $4500/semester in the Pac-10.  It costs $1200/semester just 10-years ago. 

I feel bad for young people. 

Hey Be cool go back to school.

Life is a journey and everybody's travels at their own pace but just keep moving forward.  Don't arrive at your lifes end with regrets.

Go Man GO

Like Bill Cosby said. You aren't going "back" to school. You are going forward.
