Finished my Associate's Degree!

Featured Replies

I haven't been fishing as much this year because I decided to go back to school at age 31 to finish my degree. I stupidly flunked out of college when I was 19 for God only knows what reason.

At the encouragement of my fiancee and mother-in-law (an amazing woman), I enrolled at Tallahassee Community College last August. Forty-one credit hours later, I have completed my AA degree and graduated with a 4.0 gpa. I raised my cumulative GPA from a 1.51 to just over 3.0.

I'm enrolling at Florida State in the fall with two years to go on my history degree.

For those of you thinking of going back or lamenting that you never finished, it's not too late!

Well done! You're right, it is never too late. I went back at 32 and completed my B.S.

I think at this age we understand much better what is at stake and why we are doing it.

Good luck with your next step.

Congrats man, you just increased your earning potential. The bait monkey lies in wait for you. ;)

Don't I know it. I finished my degree, my birthday is Sunday and Sportman's Warehouse is having a going out of business sale. It wasn't hard to get my fiancee to let me spend a little $$$. ;D

That's really great, man. That's quite an accomplishment that you were able to pull your GPA up above 3.0 after starting off poorly. Good luck with your classes at FSU.

BTW, What are you planning to do with the history degree? My brother and my former roommate are both history majors.

Congrats! I go to school with 3/66 people over 30 and the class behind me has someone in their forties. You are right, it's never too late to get an education. Good luck at FSU.
