I didn’t complete my Bachelor’s degree until I was 32 years old, a full 10 years after I sat in my very first college class. Like most high school graduates, I went off to college at the tender age of 18. It didn’t take long for me to see that I simply did not yet possess the maturity required to succeed on my own, so I dropped out after only one semester. After that, I started working full-time, realized that I would never have a rewarding career without a degree, and began taking classes at my local community college. I then checked into distance learning programs, found one that would accept all my transfer credits, and finally earned my Bachelor’s in Business Administration.
