Many people go for a second Bachelor's Degree.





If you can afford it, go for it. Many colleges offer evening and on-line classes. Some colleges even offer weekend classes.

Reply:Yep, life is over now. 25 is the new 90. A shame that you couldn't accomplish more in your extremely long life at 25.





/end extreme sarcasm





Are you serious?! Since you already have a BA, don't you remember other students that were in their 40's and even older?





Anyway, good luck in whatever you decide to do!
Reply:Nope! Go for it!
Reply:Yes, you're too old. You should be retired and have grandchildren already.








Nah.. just kiddin'





You're never too old for education. But make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. Some people go to school because they don't want to work and face the real world where they have to support themselves.
Reply:It's possible, it's going to take you forever because you'll have to take a bunch of night courses or online courses THROUGH YOUR COLLEGE not just anywhere. I don't think you're ever too old to try to attain a degree though. Talk to your employer they might work with you on your hours and the cost if your degree will also benefit them.
Reply:Never too old! I am currently in Computer science and I see a lot of people in their 30's in my class. If you have a part time job I suggest doing part-time studies too. My cousin did that so he could acquire additional degrees while working.
Reply:dont be silly your never to old





in fact i recomend GETTING A ph.D





i think it takes 1-2 years as it depeends on the course





plus it will add DR before your name! (replace miss to DR)
Reply:you are never too old! my mom went back at the age of 45 and got her second bachelor's and then went on to get her masters. I say go for it!
Reply:there is no point in getting a 2nd BA. instead, go directly to a master's in comp science. you will probably have a few pre-req classes to complete, but all programs are accustomed to getting applicants from different disciplines, not just their own. in fact, this type of applicant usually results in a more diverse group of students and students with different strengths than strictly comp science majors. i am 26 am have a BS in business. i am now finishing some pre-reqs for optometry school to be an eye doc. i quit work, though, and i can't imagine juggling both because medical programs expect you to finish in 4 yrs with the rest of your incoming class. they set up your classes and typically only offer them once a year. so, taking only some at a time isn't an option. if you are ok with gradually taking classes and continuing to work, then it is possible. however, i would encourage you to really analyze what you plan to accomplish with another degree in comp science? are there particular job opportunities that you feel you can't achieve without the degree? or are you just a perpetual student? if you are simply looking for a change, consider applying for a job in the comp science field (probably entry level) and get paid to get experience rather than paying to go to school. this would be a more practical approach to switching tracks.
