At what age did you get your bachelors degree? Just wondering how long it took some of you. I'm 22, and am getting to the point to where I feel as though I'm taking too damn long to get my degree. I have 77 hrs I believe. But this last 1.5 yrs or so. I've really dropped alot in hours im taking(~7 per semester 
), and i've always been an idiot by waiting till the last second to sign up for classes. This semester was no different. Today was the first day after xmas break that I could sign up for classes and out of the 7 classes my counselor "recommended" for this semester. Only one of the classes actually has an opening 
. After this semester. I'm giong to 100% sign up for classes the first day I can. Bc school is just taking me forever now. Most of my highschool buddies have already graduated. Luckily my roommates are behind me so I dont feel like too much of a slacker
How long did it take you guys? Just want to see where I stand.

After the military, I have 67 hours and I am 25 , but I just don't see myself going back to school. I hated it but if you need it for doing what you wanna do you will never be too old.

I was 23 when I got my bachelors. I wasted two years at a junior college after I graduated from high school.
Once I went off to SFA, I didn't have to work, so I was able to concentrate on school.

Don't give up. I did as much as I could while in high school. Got many college hours my senior year. Now I am taking forever and I'm 25. Don't know exactly how much I have. Took last year off. I don't care how long I take so as long as I get one.

22, usually I but down college hard core because it is not always the way to go and really hasn’t done much for me, as of yet, However, if you already have 77 hours in you might as well stick to it, why waste all the time and effort you put into it already.

22 and still working on it. I've been in school right out of college. Been taking about 6 hours per semester working full time. I have maybe 60-70 hours. Not really sure. But I recently switched majors so I have a ways to go... but i have a job i really like i like the people i work with and i make good money. So at the moment I'm not in a big rush, dont get me wrong i want to finish, but I'm not in a BIG rush.
But like everyone says, it's never too late. Just finish.
