Am I to old to go to college?

Question

am I to old to go to college?I have been seeing my younger siblings get there bachelor and master degrees. My mom pretty much respects them more for doing so. She is always talking highly of them and never talks good about me because I have no college education. I have no GED. I am 34 I make about 60k a year. I had kids early and never finished or went back to school. I have been thinking about it lately. I want my GED and I would love to go to college. Part time of course (community college) get my associates and maybe keep going. But arent I to old for this? I mean my daughter will be in college in 4 years. Maybe I am thinking to highly. I mean by the time I get a masters Degree how old would I be?

Ever read the news stories about some 88 year old getting a high school diploma.  Or some 90 year old getting a degree.

Apparently they weren't too old to go after what they wanted.  Granted they probably had a little more time - not having kids around and  not having a job but....

No, you are not too old.  If you can manage it - then do it.  If you regret not having done it already - imagine how you will regret it more in 10 years.

Your never too old for school, my mom went to school to get her GED, and learn english as well (originally from mexico) at 38 years old.  There are a lot of programs out there for senior students and it is not hard to get in them either, plus you could always learn a few new things especially a new language right now

NO, NO, NO! You're NEVER too old to go to college! Get your GED and then go for it, as biggreen said. Don't go through your life regretting that you didn't try.

You're not too old.  To get admitted though, for most schools you'd need to get a GED.

It sounds like you've been quite successful.
