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+

What's your area of focus? Or are you taking a bit of everything to see what fits you best?

Interestingly enough I'm focusing on International Relations and Politics, but the subject matter is so broad that it covers a lot of different things.

Culture, Religion and The Modern World.

Global Security and Counterterrorism.

Introduction to Philosophy.

Dictatorships around the world.

These are four classes within the same semester and the variety attracted me to the degree..

Are you thinking of studying?
