Is it too late to graduate from a university with a degree in software development at the age of 27?

Question

IT education

It just so happened that I finished school rather late (at the age of 19) and did not enter the university immediately after graduation. I turn 23 next year. I want to enter a higher educational institution, but at the same time I am haunted by the thought that at this age people usually already graduate from it (or even earlier).
Do you think I should worry about such, perhaps insignificant, detail?

Answer 1

So I'm not the only one (I'm 20 and I'll be applying at 22, saving money and getting ready).
I believe that this is necessary, after all, a huge foundation of knowledge. It's not just that in countries where education is very developed, people go to study even at 30 and finish at 33-35.
Here the question is different, what kind of educational institution is it, are you sure about the quality of teaching (much depends on this)? Well, a diploma (for techies, it’s the very thing) for future migration (if you suddenly want to) is always not only desirable, but should be.

Answer 2

No, it's not worth it.
Received the first "tower" at the same age, no matter how it was to spit, and left.

Answer 3

Nobody cares about you: your life is only yours.
If something is possible and you want it, then do it and do not look or listen to anyone.
I hope I explained clearly...

Answer 4

As the saying goes, it's never too late to learn.
In general, at one time I had an aunt on the stream who went to get a "tower" at 57, and then the question is - is it too late or not?)

Answer 5

If your studies go well, and you consider yourself an adult and independent (and judging by this issue, this is not the case yet), then from the 2nd-3rd-4th year you can look towards correspondence and part-time work, if this does not interfere with your studies.

Answer 6

I went to get the tower in 2005 after the army, at the party and in general the norms. In general, years do not matter, you just don’t have to justify your failures and laziness by the fact that “it’s already late”, people start coding even in retirement.
