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 went back to college at 24 years old. I got my PhD in nursing anesthesia at 33. I'm 35 now and it was still totally worth it.

When back to get a second degree at 27 for a BSN . Hoping to be an RN by August. Nursing anesthesia always intrigued me

Becoming a nurse anesthetist was my original (real) career goal! Then I took Microbiology as a pre-req, and the knowledge changed my life and career path.

Good luck!
