Is it too late to go to college at 20?

Question

IT education

Hello everyone, I'm 20 years old. This year I’m going to study at a university (full-time), I left after 9, of course I regretted it, and graduated from college, now I’m 20, and I think that it will be a little uncomfortable for me that I’ll have to sit in a group with ~ 18 year olds, and that at 24 I’ll have to to finish a bachelor's degree. although the difference is small, I am a web developer, 6 months ago I thought that I would not need VO, and I thought that by the summer I would be actively working as a programmer in a web company, I develop for myself, and with friends slightly solid projects, and I’m finalizing my skills in order to work confidently as a freelancer, but the question immediately arises, where is the fundamental knowledge, I want to immerse myself in mathematics and physics, and already work confidently with a diploma, and get more prospects, move to a new place, find new friends, generally change the environment, also have some pride, and if I decisively give up the desire to go to a university, then then I will be haunted by the fact that I do not have a higher education. On the other hand, I think why spend 4 years in a row when you can already work as a developer, and until it works out, I will save money, maybe nerves and avoid the opportunity to live in a hostel. I myself live 200 km from the city, where there are more normal universities in my district.
Who will help unwind all this mess, and at what age did you go to university (here, of course, you will write at 18 years old :)).

Answer 1

This year I'm going to study at a university (full-time), left after 9, naturally regretted it, and graduated from college, now I'm 20

And I am 33, and I regretted only 1 time that I did not finish the university ... when I began to study information on how to go over the hill. in IT, this bureaucratic crust is of little use, if you receive it "for show, so that there is no feeling of incompleteness", then knowledge will not increase from this, and you will lose time.

Answer 2

age is bullshit. hostel - chicks!
I will be persecuted by the fact that I do not have a higher education - it is better to get rid of this kind of persecution, otherwise a crowd of all sorts of persecutors will accompany me all my life)) you need to approach this coldly, you can even count into money how much will not be earned + spent (nerves in including) for 5 years and what it will give in the output, apart from the absence of persecution, something significant. customers then show your diploma? you can also calculate how much you have to study unnecessary uninteresting nasty subjects for the sake of three fundamental

Answer 3

I went at the age of 18, but on my course there are several people who are 20 and they feel comfortable in the team. So don't be afraid.
And if anything, that is, we have correspondence education, and you won’t have to sit in a university and education will work out.
