University at the wrong age, work, panic. How to be?

Question

IT education

Hello dear readers. My name is Dmitry, I'm 22 years old. Graduated from college (red diploma). So, the situation is as follows: I really want to enter (and graduate from) a university FOR A FULL-TIME STUDIES (NO PARTICIPATIONS, NO IN PRINCIPLE), but there are several problems, it seems to me. I worry about age (all the same, universities graduate at this age, ahem) and about work. With your permission, I will explain in more detail. If I enter a university and graduate from it (or he me), then by that time I will be 26 years old (or even 27 if I enter a specialty), and it is completely incomprehensible how society will react to this, and what is more important - the employer. That is, I am 26-27 years old and I just left the university without any work experience. Well, no one has canceled age discrimination (especially within the framework of the university). With my own stupidity, I see here several options for the development of events (drum roll). Option number 1) I enter a university, graduate and find a job in my profession (unlikely, but still).
Option number 2) I enter a university, graduate from it and DO NOT find a job in my profession. As a result, I’m 26-27, so not only that, without experience, they also didn’t take a job (it smacks of collapse). Option number 3) Do not go to get a higher education and work all your life where you have to (not very rosy). For the sake of justice, it is worth mentioning that the specialty is in demand and promising, but only if you have a higher education, if you don’t have it, then the road there is generally closed, well, just generally. Also, my parents know about my possible intentions; in general, they don’t mind me going to get higher education and still don’t mind supporting me financially. But, again, with my usual stupidity, it seems that at this age you need to work at least somehow, and, of course, you can sit on the neck of your parents, but to put it mildly, this is ... . I STATELY DO NOT WANT TO CONSIDER THE CORRESPONDENCE FORM FOR ME, there are simply no normal and at least a little promising specialties, and the soul does not lie with them and .. it’s not worth it. I rummaged through everything on the Internet, I really didn’t find anything, whether they go to study at that age or don’t go, how they work or don’t work later. In general, darkness, yes darkness. So, dear reader, if you have read up to this point, I already want to thank you. In connection with this scribble above, there are questions: 1) How normal is it to go at this age to receive an O/A? How will classmates and teachers react to this? Do they even go to college at that age? If yes, how many? If you've read this far, I'd like to say thank you.

2) What about work experience?
3) How will employers and society as a whole react to this? The situation is miserable, even too much than it might seem at first glance, but something needs to be done, one cannot sit idly by. Or maybe there is no way out (well, or you can always either hang yourself or open up)?
I admit the idea that I'm too bothered about this, and I still need to go to study, although my doubts are not from scratch.
Dear reader, if you have specific life examples, I will be glad to read them, please write in more detail. Of course, I am also aware that this may seem like a ridiculous problem for you, but I am very worried about what I have stated above. I hope that you will back up your position with arguments, common sense and personal examples (preferably recent). I look forward to your answers. Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

I don't really understand why you're concerned about the reaction of "society" given that it's your life and your choice.
Now, point by point:
1. In Russia, the threshold age for entering universities is not limited. How will the people around you react to this? Fuck everyone.
2. Combine work with study if you are not considering evening and part-time studies.
3. Employers will react differently.

Answer 2

I categorically DO NOT WANT to consider the CORRESPONDENCE FORM for myself, there are simply no normal and at least a little promising specialties

There are VERY, VERY few interesting professions that you can get a job simply by graduating from a domestic university.
And therefore:

Option number 1) I enter a university, graduate and find a job in my profession (unlikely, but still).

Option 3
You enter a university, add self-education and from the second, third or fourth year you look for a job in your profession, get settled. And at the university, transfer to part-time.

Answer 3

I studied - my uncles went with me for 30 years and nothing

Answer 4

Firstly, in my group, several people studied under the age of thirty, everyone treated them normally. Secondly, the glasses did not interfere with my work, and even helped some of my colleagues. Thirdly, the labor market has long canceled age discrimination. Now only dying sharashkin offices suffer from ageism.

Answer 5

All questions fade into the background if you study hard and generally look better than most among students / graduates.
For questions:
1) Go normally. There is always an older stream - academies, the army, colleges. There is nothing to fear here.
2) If you want work experience, you need to work. Combine, go to school, do not study and work at all.
3) If you finish the university not anyhow, everyone will be on the side. Otherwise, difficulties are likely to arise.
Here is a specific life example, as requested - in my group there was a dude who took the academy 3 times, of course everyone raffled from him: students, teachers, and the dean's office. He was a kind of meme of the faculty, but as soon as he grabbed his head, everything stopped. I finished my studies normally, got a job in my specialty without experience (like the entire graduation), after a couple of years I relocated to Moscow time.

Answer 6

1. On average, no one cares. Hardly anyone will judge.
2. Combine work with studies, take internships in IT companies
3. No way. There are people who, even at 30+, change their specialty, study, and go to work without profile experience.
The problem is really funny
PS: Personally, I do not see any need to study at a university if you have not been able to gain knowledge sufficient for self-education and work during your time in college.

Answer 7

I'm forty, I'm a full-time student, I work remotely, as they say, "doctor, what am I doing wrong?" XD

Answer 8

No one will look at you crookedly :)
Some of the teachers will even be happy, because you are more aware than young schoolchildren.
Math is a great choice. If you are ready to study, then universities in Russia pay 20,000 scholarships. Plus, in the coolest universities, already from the 3rd year, they begin to hunt guys for work.
So you won't have any problems :)
If only: to enter the budget and not fly out

Answer 9

I entered at 22. And judging by my classmates - 18 years old is too early for admission.

Answer 10

Fuck society. Society is purple on you. Somewhere you will fit the X criteria, somewhere not. People go to get 2-3 education, for example, how I got another crust at 36, which is needed for the X tick. Because I have a lot of experience.
Study online, remotely. Study on a point, work by faith or remotely. Dark options. In any case, work, not just study.
You have lost X time step. There is no point in going back to him. Move on. There are many options for where to move without VO and you can earn more places than in an office with VO.
It is unlikely that you go to VO in order to do science or work in a government structure, or hold a leadership position in the X brand.
