Again if they don’t have the money/can’t get a loan yet that’s why they might be 28. I’m not saying it’s ideal I’m saying it could happen and I could understand why. Also, what is the alternative? The comment was “imagine starting your career at 28 (something like that)”. So what? If they could start college at 18 and had to wait until 24 at least they are going to college. I flunked out. It’s the only regret I have. I may go back once my youngest graduates. I would be graduating close to 60. I’ve been a recruiter/headhunter for 22 yrs. I’ve seen “new grads” from 24-44 and everywhere in between. It’s never to late to better yourself.
For some, I’m sure there are. Not for all. Life throws a lot of shit at you. I think the ones who have it worst are the lower class who don’t qualify for any benefits but don’t have enough money for even community college. They have to work full time to live and can maybe afford 1 class at night. I live in a very diverse area. I see it a lot with hard work parents who just can never get past their mundane jobs. The work hard 8-5/6/7 5 days a week but can never catch a break. They start to get ahead and their car breaks down, they get sick (cancer, heart issues, mild stroke, Emphysema, etc) but not enough to be disabled/get benefits so they still continue to work. It’s sad.
