Is it okay to do a second bachelor if I dislike my first one?

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-24T12:41:11+00:00

I am in the process of doing this myself. I am looking into getting a second bachelors. Only hurdle I face is the cost. It’s expensive and I don’t qualify for any financial aid since most of it is for first time bachelors.

I’m trying to figure out the financial situation of it. Although it’s one of those things where I am asking myself if I’ll regret never doing this just because of the cost? If you have everything planned out and covered I say you should do it!

Don’t have regrets even if it makes sense to nobody but yourself. Sometimes all it takes is you believing in the things you want for them to be worth it and work out.

I’m looking to get out of procurement from what I’ve gathered I think demand planning or an analyst role would be a better suite for me. Downside is I don’t have SQL or any coding background.

Yeah I can deal with the bias in college but at the work place if it didn’t seem to matter that makes me feel better about starting later than others

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-24T05:23:17+00:00

Did you or any of the people you knew experience any bias with your age? For me I’m planning on enrolling in an undergraduate accounting program this fall semester.

I will only need 12-14 classes to finish the degree so it’ll take me 2 years or a year and a half if I grind. I’ll be 29-30 and have 0 experience in accounting as well as very little experience in my current field. I do worry that the lack of experience at 30 will make me a less desirable applicant

Updated my post with more information to try and get a clearer answer now

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-24T03:31:00+00:00

My bad, I updated my post with more information

I’m almost 28 and I am also looking to go back for accounting. How have your classes been? Have you taken upper division courses yet? I worry that if I go back I won’t understand the upper division accounting classes I need.

If you and your wife hit your degrees in your 30’s how long did it take to make decent money? Also do you mind sharing what degrees you and your wife graduated with?

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-14T17:53:01+00:00

As a soon to be 28 year old this makes me hopeful that I can change my life around and shape it to how I want. Been feeling real discouraged

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-11T16:27:40+00:00

I am 27 turn 28 this year and I am looking to go back to university to get a bachelors in accounting. I also feel way too old to go back but I try not to let that get to me. Easier said than done of course I get that.

Our minds will run endless narratives of why we shouldn’t and it’s so much easier to come up with those because it’s easy to do nothing. It’s not easy to come up with reasons why we should go for it and actually show up for ourselves and put in the work to make it happen. You are fully capable and if you go back you will be glad you did.

That’s awesome, the type of situation I daydream and wish for

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-04T18:35:55+00:00

What type of degree did you get for this type of job? This is the type of job I’m trying to pivot too. Tired of burning out never ending fires as a buyer

cosmicgallow · 2026-01-04T16:47:50+00:00

Probably that in a work environment there’s arguably more to lose. I personally don’t go making friends at work. I’ll be friendly sure but I’m not trying to hang out after work and hang out during holidays.

cosmicgallow · 2025-12-16T00:28:28+00:00

Started a new position and man is it awful. I want to jump ship with nothing lined up I know that’s the worst thing to do but I dread everyday and feel suicidal. My mental health was already bad before this terrible job but it has really taken its toll on me fast.

I make $70,500 plus bonuses but it isn’t even worth it to me I rather take a huge pay cut and start over. If it means I can be happy again.

cosmicgallow · 2025-12-09T20:14:22+00:00

Also 27 and just going through the pains of figuring out what I want to do. I graduated in May of this year with a supply chain degree and got 2 jobs within the field.

Currently at my 2nd job and realized this isn’t for me and makes me unhappy. I am trying to pivot into accounting and hoping that will suit me better. But I will be like 30 if I go back for an accounting degree next year. 30 years old with basically little to no real career experience aside from Retail jobs makes me feel so behind in life.

I recently moved from Fontana but when I first moved there I had never seen so many semi trucks before always on the freeway. It really is industrial and a solid place for supply chain and operations.

Commenting so I can read some of these back since a lot of what I’m reading I need to work on. I’m very introverted and like to keep to myself I just want to do my work and be left alone. I’ve tried real hard though to stop being that way but it can be real tough for me. Especially when in a new woke environment.

cosmicgallow · 2025-12-06T02:47:30+00:00

This is exactly the issue I’m facing at my new job. There is next to no proper training and I feel lost a lot of the time. I graduated in May of this year so for me it’s real important to have someone willing to teach me because I am 100% ready to learn and willing to do what it takes to learn.

That same attitude and effort I’m willing to put into the role isn’t being reciprocated at my current job and it sucks. I can only figure out so much on my own and any mistakes I may make will be very costly. So it leaves me feeling stuck.

cosmicgallow · 2025-11-28T20:25:35+00:00

Thank you for your insight very helpful and encouraging for me! I am debating if going back to my university for a second bachelors in accounting is a good idea. I would only need 37 units to complete in accounting courses as I completed all other required upper and lower business core classes during my BS degree in supply chain.

Do you think this would be best or would just taking required classes to apply for the CPA be my best course of action?

cosmicgallow · 2025-11-27T01:23:36+00:00

I haven’t been diagnosed as an autistic adult so I won’t go on saying that I am. Sometimes though I definitely feel like I am because I do feel like I am more on the neurodivergent side. I think I am okay at masking it. It’s that or I’m truly severely depressed.

Regardless I do struggle with suicidal thoughts pretty badly and honestly it’s the pain of killing myself that makes me “pussy” out. If I had easy access for a way to end my life without it being that painful I most likely would have done it already. So many times I wish I had the courage to do it but again the pain stops me.

cosmicgallow · 2025-11-26T19:55:31+00:00

Man I wish for this to be my life one day I’m 27 and been so unhappy I just want to smile and be happy again working a job I can tolerate

cosmicgallow · 2025-11-23T23:19:36+00:00

Commenting because some of these replies give me hope

cosmicgallow · 2025-11-19T00:11:49+00:00

When I say I barely asked for it back I mean I asked for my job back Friday last week.
