FlappyLappy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hey Guys Just a general question here. I am 25 years old and currently working on my BA. I still have about a year and a half left leaving me to graduate at the age of 27 at the latest. Now my main question is, is that age too late to be finished school and still be considered for a professional career? Is it best to still finish my degree or just keep my diploma and try and find work that way? BTW my degree is in Accounting and I am doing my CGA at the same time. I am just feeling like my window has closed and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. How old was everyone here when they finished their degrees? Any input is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Maybe if you were 47, 27 is still very young. Immaturity and lack of life experience is a red-flag to employers IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj_coolcat Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 What makes you think 27 is "too late"? You're going into accounting, not professional hockey. I don't think there's an age limit in that field. Employers don't care about your age anyways. It's not even going to come up until you've already been hired and you have to fill out the paperwork.
