Is 41 too late to go back to college?
I’m 41 years old, and lately, I’ve been seriously thinking about going back to college and finally finishing my degree.
I stopped studying in 4th year BSBA – Financial Management back in 2016 because of financial problems. I was so close to finishing, but life happened, and I had to prioritize earning.
Fast forward to today, I’m currently earning around ₱100K/month as a virtual assistant, and thankfully, I’m in a much better financial position now.
But there’s still a part of me that wants to go back and finish what I started.
One thing I’m also wondering about is whether my subjects from 2016 can still be credited. I checked the current curriculum, and it looks like most of my major subjects could still be credited, which makes me hopeful that I wouldn’t have to start from scratch.
For those who have experience with returning to college after several years, especially those who stopped in their 3rd or 4th year:
Do you think my old subjects can still be credited?
Has anyone here gone back to the University of Cebu after many years?
Was the process of evaluating/transferring your old subjects difficult?
And most importantly, was it worth going back and finishing your degree?
At 41, I can’t help but wonder:
Is it still worth it? Or am I too late?
Considering that I’m already earning around ₱100K/month as a VA, would spending the time, money, and energy to finish my degree still be a good investment?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have been in a similar situation. ❤️
If you were in my shoes, would you go back and finish the degree? Why or why not?
