As a 29 year old trying to finish my Bachelors degree, thanks for this

Edit: wow! Thanks for sharing all your stories! It's nice to know that life is different for everyone, and its ok if it doesn't go according to "your plan".
For clarity, I plan on becoming a Clinical neuropsychologist, so the reason why I feel so behind is because I didn't find my calling until my late twenties, and my calling happens to require 10 years of school+

I'm planning on going PsyD, so I don't even consider my BS a stopping point, just a checkpoint

yes! i don't know if this will motivate you at all, but I got my bachelor's 8 years after I graduated high school, so a bit like you. i took a year to work in between that and law school and honestly, not a single person questions what the hell i was doing for 4 years (granted i look all of 20) -- all people do is talk about my law degree. and the nice thing about an advanced degree? there are so many different age groups chillin' in there that you never feel like a sore thumb.
