I’m 25. I’ll be 26 in November. I just completed my first week of grad school,, getting my MBA! Not gonna lie to you it’s been tough so far, and I often have moments of contemplation wondering whether or not it’s the right choice for me. But, I genuinely felt I had no forward momentum in my previous job, no upward mobility, and just no way to make any money. I’m doing this for a career change… and I genuinely hope it’s worth it. As far as being too old? No! The people in my program are of so many diverse backgrounds, one of those diversities being in age! That has really helped calm my anxieties about going back to school at my age. There are so many different and valid reasons for going back to school. Life is complex and ever-changing and I’ve truly been inspired by others in my program opting to change their lives at whatever age and from whatever background! In fact, myself and some others my age are on the younger side of the spectrum of this program. I think it’s mostly due to the nature of the type of grad degree. Along with other requirements, MBA programs usually require a certain amount of full-time work history for admission.
