I’m a senior who’s 21 years old. I will be 22 in July. I today found out I have to retake two college classes. And it sucks because I see on social media where some of my classmates that I graduated with in high school graduated college this spring. They got their bachelors and are moving on. I feel left behind because now I have to wait until the fall. I just hate the thought of being the last person to do something. It’s the worst feeling. I have to wait 7 months. I have never been good in school! I have always struggled. But it seems so easy for others. I hate the feeling.
Define bad. There is nothing worse than going into debt. As long as you aren’t locking all your income behind monthly payments, you can rebound from anything. The time you take to graduate is meaningless in the grand scheme of success.
One of my corporate managers took 10 years to graduate with a bachelors degree. He makes about $450k a year.
