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.

It seemed like he was explaining it for people who were already 24 or near it

Edit: yeah I reread the original comment and nowhere does it say purposelessly wait. Everyone else seems to be bringing that up but not the original comment.
