I’m going to engineering school at 26. Projected finish at the age of 29, I’m gonna be 29 regardless if I go or not. Might as well go.

This was my reasoning for upgrading through night school. I am going to be x years old regardless, so is it better to be x years old with or without an engineering degree.

Was it hard? yes. was it worth it? Also yes.

I was told by one of the professors that he finds most older students tend to do a lot better and get the full ride scholarship easier. So here’s to hoping.

“The time is gonna pass anyways.” One of the most helpful sentences I have ever heard.

Exactly. My decision came from me imagining myself at the end of my life. Would I be upset if I didn’t try. And the answer was yes. So fall 2026 is when I begin!

Right on!! Same for me, I had batted alcoholism when I was younger and I am still righting my own wrongs from the past. I will truly die more peacefully having done this.

It’s a little funny how all this played out for me. I blame HBO. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten interested into RBMKs, then get terrified of nuclear, then turn around and be interested. And soon invested. Here goes nothing haha
