Same'ish. I went back to college when I was 29. Everything about that experience was awesome and I got more than I wanted out of it. I had total control over what my educational path was going to be and I took it super seriously.

I think we do better because we understand what college actually is and the world in which it exists. We use advisors as exactly that, advise and consent. Some kids out of high school just do whatever their advisors tell them to. Older people going to college are far more likely to know exactly what they want after having thought long and hard about it and are more willing to put sincere conscious effort into making it happen. Whereas some young people just "want a degree" or just "want a job." It's almost sad how little thought or effort some kids put into college. This set of differences makes us better students and gives us a higher likelihood of changing our long term trajectory so we don't end up in /r/antiwork or whatever is going on with kids these days.

I am very passionate about going back to school.
