I'm talking to you from the future... Well, not exactly, but sort of. I decided to go back to school and finish my degree 3 years ago, and in 44 days I'll be graduating with my CIS degree... And I'll be 33. Do your best, college seems way easier to me the second time around, but don't be lax, go for the A. Get good grades, and try to find internships, employers seem to love them. I did both of those things, and I had the top 3 IT companies in my area recruiting me last November. I had 3 great offers before I even started my last semester. I eventually accepted one with a salary of 60k and 3 weeks paid vacation /year, and that's great for my area.(there were other offers higher, but they seemed to expect more than 40hrs/wk) I was worried about the age issue as well, but I just used it as an advantage. Not only did I have the education of my younger "peers", I also had the maturity and real world work experience of a 33 year old. It made me more marketable. It was the best choice I've ever made. And as one commenter said, if hadn't done it I'd still be 33, but I'd still be wondering what would have been. If you love it do it, if you're just doing it to get a job, or you think it might be cool it'll be really hard to make it through. The sad truth is if you're not in the top 10% it's nearly impossible to find a job, but if you are the jobs find you.

I graduate in May with a BSBA CIS degree (software engineering focus) I was fortunate to have three offers from recruiters before Christmas. I think what set me apart was my side projects, and internships. All of these posts about "grades don't matter" were not true in my case at all. Recruiters don't want to even talk to you if you have less than a 3.0, and to be competitive you need to be over a 3.5. My friends that simply went to class and are gonna graduate don't have any offers, but those of us that interned, worked on open source projects, or did anything else aren't having too hard a time.

Are you freaking kidding me!!! All you Europeans, listen i hate bush, and think the wars wrong and all, but no self respecting American would drive that thing! maybe a 12 year old in the back yard....
