Is it too late to go back to school at 29-30 for a new course that may last 3 to 4 years?

It's never too late, the thing you should look into is forecast the job market for you degree. Basically your looking to see is the a positive growth in your field, job wise, but also financial growth. I was in school with peoole who were 50-60 years old, age does not matter.

It's never too late breh. When I was in undergrad I remembered doing a group project with students who were all over 30; Also at 24 there were times when I felt like I was one of the youngest students ( mostly senior year), in my class. I could only imagine how bad it is for grad students in their 20's. I'm about to find out. Good luck to you man. We need more college educated brothers and sisters in this country. 16 percent ( most coming from for profit colleges) isn't cutting it anymore.

The reason being, is somehow I got lucky and landed my current gig, which is in graphic design (5 years). I did not go to school for it. I want to pursue another job in the same field, but now companies are looking for that degree when I know I've been doing a hell lot more than whatever opening they usually have.

Yeah that sucks man, but they're student in their 30's who are doing well in school. Since you already have the experience try going to a local college and breeze through it.

Everyone on our team did a great job on our Nike Case, but I was quite intrigued to watch our team member Jacob Hardin go completely weird on me on the morning of our presentation.



Yes, Jacob Hardin you had plenty of opportunities to speak your mind and say you were dissatisfied with the PP at any time up until the point when I sent it in to all parties, but you said nothing when I asked was it ok with everyone yet you felt it was the right time to express your dissatisfaction during our "rehearsal time" before class (You complained for a FULL 25 minutes) and even in class during our presentation. When I told you to make whatever changes you wanted to the PowerPoint you refused, you just kept complaining. How freakin' WEIRD can you get dude? The WEIRDNESS has got ahold of you pretty strong I see. Please don't breed.





I don't know why you decided to turn into a P_ _ _ _ all of a sudden, but that's your business. The "Southern Decadence” Festival is waiting for you this summer down in New Orleans. In the future you may want to decide to follow protocol and speak up before the PP is sent to Dr. He. Or, you can just sit there and not say anything like a little B _ _ _ _ and let everything go crazy again, it's your choice. If you are on PMS then I know a good gynecologist that can prescribe you some Midol that can help you with the bytchiness and complaining. That girl Taylor in our class acts tougher than you do. Grow some cojones. Please don't force me to babysit you, it is not my job to babysit you, it's your mama's job to babysit her little girls.



Have A Great Day! : )

:myman: good shyt.....lunch on me, next time you're in LA
If I get into UCLA, do I get a meal too? :patrice:


Too general. I would choose a more specific business track...like accounting.

What about International Business? Out of all the schools I got into, going to SDSU would be the cheapest, and thats the major with an emphasis on Spanish and latin america I think.

In most schools International Business would be a concentration of Business Administration. You might want to look into a double-major...like Finance & International Business.
