I'm 26 & just enrolled back in school for an accounting degree. I'm nervous af

Congrats and don't be nervous. I'm an accounting major too. My advice, find a specialty in the field like forensic accounting, auditing, acquisitions, taxes, etc. Don't limit yourself just to a general accounting degree. You luck and stay focused.

Does going back for your masters at 34 count?

I got my bachelors in Network Security back in 2015 and never used it until 2022.

No age should not be a factor to learn. I'm in my 40s and took a building maintenance course at a community college to learn the basics. IMO, in today's market the certification holds more weight than a master's degree but it does depend on what.

I’m actually already halfway through the program.

First off congratulations OP. Going back to school regardless of age is always beneficial.

I just graduated from Stonybrook Masters in Business program this spring at 35 (I just turned 36).

You got this OP

My kid will be the first in my family ever to graduate....hopefully

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I really need to go back, just to get my bachelors

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

I actually dropped out back in the day from an accounting degree. I was good at it but it was too boring and a creative like me won't thrive at a job where originality is obviously not encouraged unless you doing fraud

should have just majored in Computer Science, what a dummy I was

I’m doing this currently. Being nervous is normal but it fades once you’re in the middle of the first semester.
