Can I Still Enrol Jamb And Try Gaining Admission At The Age Of 26 by Chinedu00Z(op): 6:48am On Feb 17, 2025

I know I've made lots of mistakes. I know I fell off very early in life. I know I've achieved a lot and done so many good things for my family. Money is not the problem for me now, but I still feel something missing in me. My siblings and close friends are all graduates, except me.

Sometimes I get shy when I'm around them, and it makes me feel sad. I've been having this thoughts of going back, but I'll be 26 June this year, I don't know if it's too late, or how it might look to everyone.

Your advice please!!!

If you had this mentality while hustling, money would still be a problem for you till today.

What i mean by the above, take a decision and f**uck what people think. 4 years from now, you'll still 30. You can either be a 30year old graduate by then, or be a 30year old who allowed what people would think make him not pursue his desire to get a degree.

It's not late even at 70.
Shouldn't Open university be better for you than the conventional university that would take up your entire time?

Yes you can still enroll. Some people enter the university in their 30s and they will come out good

My little advice.

If you are not going for a professional course or high-in-demand-course, leave university and look for a skill to learn. And I mean a skill you can grow to an industry.

The world has changed and no one cares whether you went to university or not. Just be literate that's all

Not late at all. I went to uni when I was 25.
Served when I was 29 and got a Federal job (Ministry of Works) when I was 31. So not too late.

It is never too late.
But if you feel that full time wouldn't work for you, try part time.

Never give up Chinedu.

It's Over when you say it is.

Let it always be on your own terms.

I like the iron will and focus of some Igbo men when it comes to business.

Tune it to your education. You would be glad you did. All the best.

You are lucky you don't have any real problems in life, so you just want to create an imaginary one.

A mere 25+ years old "boy", asking if it is too late to begin a university education? A university education o, not secondary school education o.

Okay, let me test your mindset.
Please can you state 3 cogent reasons why you think you can't?

Yes, since you desire and can afford it. You could also consider Open University of you don't want to do it full time.

Oh Yes!

You're definitely not too old to pick up the broken pieces of your life and you're not too advance in years to enrol in a tertiary institution.

I'm 29 years old in my third uni, I've lost several years.
Good thing is, I'm studying my dream course.
But then, I will graduate when I'm about 34 years old.
It's never too late to start or to start all over again. It's all just a construct in our minds.
