A few years ago I decided that I wanted to finish my BS degree before I turned 30 and I’ve finally done it! I finished my Art & Technology BS degree at the University of Oregon a few days before my 30th birthday.
Returning to school at an older age was incredibly difficult for me. The 16 credit course workload wasn’t the hardest part (although it was incredibly painful at times). No, the hardest part was giving up most of my income and being the old guy in class who always tries too hard! It was a fulfilling, yet incredibly exhausting few years. I’ll honestly miss it, but I cannot wait to start the next chapter of my life post college.
