Still in college 25 years old?

Lots of people are still in college at 25, particularly those who joined the military after high school and then used their GI Bill to pay for college.

My middle child was dealing with an incurable medical condition and needed a year to get their condition to a manageable place. After obtaining their Associates of Science, they paused their education because we were looking to sell our house and relocate to another state. Since we decided not to leave Texas after all, they are enrolled for the spring semester to finish their Bachelors of Science.

My youngest also took a year between high school and college because I was experiencing life-threatening seizures and could no longer drive or leave the house alone. He helped me continue working; since I was earning a six-figure salary, I paid him out of my earnings. Now that I am no longer working, he got a part-time job and is also starting college in the spring.

Sometimes life gets in the way.

If you were getting paid like that, you’d still be in college too.
