For an undergrad program? I don't think there is a limit, but being around 18 year olds might be annoying for you. For a masters or PhD I don't think anyone would bat an eye. Usually "mature" students take weekend and evening courses, perhaps that is an option.

Collage is a scam. Go to trade school.

31? What the fuck have you done for the last 14 years?

No, but you will need to accept that there will be a lot of people younger than you. That doesn't mean that older people won't be there, but they are definately the minority.

>>966090

I just want to go into research in CS.

>>966091

For a masters program? It's not abnormal at all to go back in your thirties, or any age really.

>>966093

I'll be 31 when I start to study a bachelors of CS, and maybe 35 when I start a post bachelor.

Hate to break it to you, my dude, but absolutely nobody is going to hire a middle aged freshly graduated CS bachelor's holder, and for good reason. It takes a lot of sleepless nights buoyed by youthful energy to attain competence in software development. I doubt you'd even be able to finish the bachelor's program in 5 years. So you'll be 36-40 by the time you apply for an entry level programming job. Absolutely nobody is going to hire you. They will (probably rightly) assume that you're looking to finally settle down with a paycheck, which is exactly the type of employee who is a burden on a fast-moving software company. Every software company I've worked at has the 40-something year old dude who has made his one-man department opaque and difficult to work with as a form of job security.

If you're not looking for a job as a developer, and just want to see how the sausage is made, then go for it. But otherwise, you'll want to go to trade school. You could get a job as a quality assurance analyst, and start with writing test automation scripts. You could really move up from a position like that; I've even seem some developers who started out here. It looks a lot better on a resumè to have a few years at a company where you advanced into a development position, with a proven value-added work history, than some no-experience degree. Trust me on that one.

For all the people suggesting a trade, you have to remember that you'll be around the most normal of normalfags if you choose that field. Of course, in a sense, it's better than the people you're around if you're a programmer.

your sense of time is poisoned.

now it comes to bite you back.

but fear not.

follow yourself as long as you try not to be others.

>>966079

Trade school is a scam. I have a bsc and trade certification both in areas supposedly in need of more workers. Education wont do shit for your job prospects, the economy is in the toilet and nobody wants you. Unless you can find someone willing to invest in you, don't bother.

OP, take what little skill you have and go self employed. The only groups with money to throw away are banks and boomers, take all you can from them to keep your head above water.

That's typically it. I remember seeing only a handful of cute girls, and they were surrounded by a phalanx of orbiters, but they can only get by that way for so long. I don't think there were any girls in my graduating year, unless you count some androgynous Chinese girls that were just background noise.

this is a problem industry vets have as well, I know loads of older people who were fired in their 60s for no reason other than they were too old and the companies they worked for didn't want to pay out the extra benefits

>>966073 (OP)

Anon I'm 29 and and in my first year at college, for a CS degree. Kids are annoying, but otherwise is all good. Non-ordinary people don't have ordinary lives.

2 of the people in my CE classes were over 40 years old, so I'd say no. (That said, the average age was somewhere around 23).

I saw even older people in college, so go ahead.

Or just get a job and earn money instead of going into debt for school.

Yeah but it don't let that stop you. You might hook up with some young sluts.

I thought I was old starting college at age 19.5

>>967396

Mind elaborating why? Not the first time I've heard this. Are they better if you want to work as a low level programmer instead of webmonkey?

>>966073 (OP)

>Is being 31 too old to go back into college?

if you want to learn {whatever}, yes. especially if you can do it cheaply/pay in cash/no debt

if you are going into debt to try to get a better job, that is a very risky bet.

>>967511

>>967357

I thought I was old starting at 22.สสสสสสส

What degree do I get if I want to go into programming language research?

I've been reading up on some of the less researched fields and they're crowded with category theory, set theory, type theory, and combinatory logic.

While I know some stuff in each of these fields I don't want to be an amateur anymore. I want to REALLY know these fields and more. So I'm thinking a mathematics degree might be more beneficial for me?

CS seems pretty lame nowadays and the only other field I'd consider is EECE or just straight up EE.

>>966073 (OP)

Maybe you can get a job.

But you won't have a career any more.

Better go looking for something else, maybe logistics.

>>967396

>You will probably be working until you are about 70 years old or so

Not OP but tbh I wouldn't mind. Every retiree I know wishes they were still working instead of just waiting to die but many got retired by their employers.

As for me after being a neet I rather be stuck in an office, that shit sucks and so does being broke. I have socialization problems so I might have to start working from home. My main problem is that years ago I realized I actually suck at this but I don't have any other useful skills for this shitty market.

>>966216

Yeah, Americans girls generally just don't have the fortitude to make it through the entire program. And it's a good thing, because they would make terrible employees.

Gets easier with age.

If you're going for compsci, it's not that you're too old, it's that the programs have all been pozzed and dumbed down for women and niggers. The days of assembly and C in compsci are over. It's now a glorified python/java code monkey factory.

Actually I went back to finish when I was 47 in 2000 just because...I started in 1971 when I was17. I actually had more social contact than I did when I was young. I was asked out by this synchronized swimmer broad that was openly gaga over me and I had this hot jewess that used to come up to me all the time and act annoyed with me. Both had hot tempers though. kek. I met a lot of people that just loved talking about stuff I love, like books and movies and music and art.

Just do it. I love the entire university atmosphere, both the physical surroundings and the mental attitude. You just can't find that anywhere else in society.

Follow up question. Is being 31 too old to go back in to high school?

>>969977

>no, but 34 is too old to start a new career with no experience.

>you will be competing with men that have 10+ years experience more than you

Only if you're trying to get a senior programmer position immediately after you get your degree, which is impossible in the first place. You can't immediately jump straight into a mid-career position as a programmer. You simply don't have enough experience for something like that. Regardless of your age, your competition is for entry level positions, which is mainly other recent graduates or people with a year or two of experience.

>>966095

universities only like to hire professors who are in their 30s, generally early 30s, so they get at least 30 years of tenure out of them and so theyre not too young. if you start now, dont expect to be able to get a job as a prof, which would be the way to do research (unless you can manage to join or start a private firm). the PhDictionary is a good book that talks more about that shit , and it seems that its probably relevant to think far ahead like that for u

Sort-of on topic:

I've been thinking of going back and getting a second bachelor's in Economics.Or, I could get a master's in CS. The curriculum for the CS master's program at my local uni doesn't do anything for me, though. Most of the offered graduate CS classes are for related programs.

So no. I guess it's not to late to enter college. As long as you got the money, resources, and willpower. I guess you might make it. Who cares how fucking old you are. Just don't let anybody get in the way of your dreams. Unless you wanna become hitler or sumthin.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Someone even remotely ambitious can be promoted to a senior programmer position within 10 years of when they first get a job, easily. Potentially even a little faster than that if they do a really good job.

>>966073 (OP)

IT is special because you don't always need the expensive piece of paper to get past HR. Sometimes a bullshit cert from ec-crapcil is what they have on their checklist. You don't need some class spending 4 months with an overpriced and verbose book holding you hand to learn something that you could probably do on your own in half the time for free. Unless you need the piece of paper for something specific, or you're a wagecuck trying to break free I wouldn't bother. The best thing I got out of college was some friends and networking. It's best avoided if at all possible tbh

Don't waste your time unless you're going to a real school. Community colleges offer nothing but blended classes. So unless you want to relearn how to setup a screensaver and other useless garbage I think it would be wiser to study yourself and get certified.

if your 31 and need a degree then it would probably be best to go into a trade

Somewhat inexperienced PL researcher here

If you go deep enough into studying PL, you realize almost nobody knows what they're talking about anyways and the only things you actually need to know are proof search and recursion. Everything is ultimately just a variant on those two things anyways.

The category theorists are basically just glorified cultists (they even have their own system of sigils and proclaim the sigils are the one and only universal truth), the type theorists have their heads up their asses (they came from philosophy, so this is par for the course) and the set theorists either don't know anything (they came from math and actually believe in Zermelo-Fraenkel as the basis for mathematics) or they're actually just type theorists. There's a lot of overlap between these groups. If someone doesn't fit into any of these, they might actually know something, but will probably be into slightly more convenient rearrangements of arbitrary symbols, they also tend to know some neat algorithms or do more than just PL to keep their research moving. There are very few people who are ready, willing and funded enough to do the PL research that would actually move the field itself forward and of those I'm not sure anybody has the raw talent necessary to pull it off.

Learn a functional programming language (either Scheme or ML), a logic programming language (Prolog's search strategy makes it the worst, use anything else, even miniKanren) and a dependently-typed programming language (I recommend Software Foundations to learn Coq). If you realize that type theory basically ends at logic programming (types are just glorified logic programming predicates) then you know about as much as anybody in the field. Wrestle with a hard optimization-focused compilers project for a long enough time and you'll be ready for pretty much any PhD program in PL. Whether it will enthuse you enough once you understand it is a different question.

No.

I have less money at 27 than I did at 20 but I get more sex now than before.

The real difference is now I treat women for what they are, whores, and they respond favorably

>>966073 (OP)

Try trade school, its much cheaper and will provide the skills you need to know to get a job around your area.

>>966144

Plumbing or electrical work is the best trade. Everyone needs those kinds of professionals at some point in every community (even boomers) and it rakes in the money! Move to a low taxed, cheaper area and you can save up a nice nest egg. Everyone still needs plumbers and electricians and boomers will PAY for that kind of service!

>>981300

I know an electrician who retired in his 50s, the dude has a nice middle class home and some savings living out his retirement. Whenever you have homes and businesses, you have a demand for plumbers and electricians. The question is can you compete in your area or get hired? I'm sure some areas have plenty of those people applying for jobs. Average electrician makes around $20 per hour. Not too bad.

Hey OP, I'm 30 and still live with parents. You definitely can go back to college at 31.

>>966073 (OP)

honestly being 30 can be a big deal or not, I am 30 and I look 25, I am not fat 6ft 180lbs, go to gym and I have a mentality of 15 year old(the only problem I have with my body is fucking receding hair line, I guess healthy lifestyle wont fix that). My manager at work is 27, when I first met him I though he is at least 40, dude carries himself. he looks, talks like a 40 year old. So it depends on an individual, OP only you know how old you really look and how fucking mature you are. And have you got enough mental capacity to learn?

>>981388

>telling OP it's a subjective opinion

delid this

College and trade school are both scams just become a NEET and take part in crashing ZOG with no survivors.

>>966076

Everything about this post beyond 100% correct and advisable.

>>966079

Half of this is correct and advisable.

You're never too old to go back to college. So long as you use that money appropriately, who cares? That's why it's there. It's not a fucking playground for dumb kids who want to party one day, and complain about sexual assault and women's rights the next. Fuck you.

>>981727

This is how you lose big, anon. This is how you will end up on skid row by the time you reach 50 (or whenever your elders die). If you want to party it up on the other hand, and have an extra bullet for yourself when you can no longer exploit your loved ones anymore then maybe thats an option for a loser.

I'm 26 and just started 2 weeks ago, I feel too old for this shit and would like to quit already.

>>983319

I said before, I'm 29 and in my second semester. Plow ahead. Nevermind your feelings, that's just your worst aspects trying to put you down. Work for what you want.

>>976321

nah just came up with the same phrase, or maybe I saw it and it was subliminally planted who knows. Not exactly a novel opinion.

>imblyign I reddit

>>966073 (OP)

>No.

>>966073 (OP)

Breh, I'm heading to med school in November. I had a trade for years but decided fuckit, I'd rather use my brain than my back.

Good for you dude, it's never too late.

Anon don't listen to the cuckchan trespassers, I'm currently studying computer science and physics at 19 and literally, 80% of my classmates are 10-15 years older than me.

They are all fat neckbeards , who make the great mistake of simply sitting in class and not doing more.

Work on projects and get internships.

>>966103

> my sociology prof

Oh I thought you meant real college, not kike filler.

>>984259

Imagine being a wizard, then imagine you're in your 30s, maybe approaching your 40s when you finally get a degree and get your life started somewhat. LMAO where's the motivation?

>>983385

>Work for what you want.

What I want is to not work.

>>984275

Then give up and die.

>>984282

You die if you work. Unless you work on your own terms wagecuckery Is basically an entire life of wasted opportunity.

>>984291

Work means work, fool.

It's adorable that you believe that.

its been over a month, let this gay thread die already

>>966073 (OP)

become an hvac tech nigger

>>966076

Nowadays, teens have become so empty and nasty like never before. So, expect little support or any modicum of goodwill from this grotty bunch of male sex bot huggers and those wretched female sjws , colleges are crawling in both.

>>984273

Not being 40 and still be a wizard

>>984735

Best advice here.

If a man who can work HVAC is unemployed it's because he doesn't want a job.

>>981307

>>981300

im an hvac tech and ill probably do over 100k next year however i also sell equipment. I also make 25/h for warranty work and for service repairs i make more like 50-100/h since its commission and my commission is fat.

>>984735

>>985057

lmao didnt see these replies

hvac really isnt bad if youre good at talking to people.

Im trying to get my own company going in a year or 2.

>>985841

Electricians are in far more demand--engineers are getting their jobs outsourced, Abdul.

>>985843

I thought mainly sysadmin jobs were being outsourced and automated. I get how muh infrastructure as code(SDN, NFV) and muh cloud computing takes network engineer jobs but there will still be a need for network builds for SMBs and apartment complexes done by MSPs. Most of the physical networking can't be done by third worlders unless there's cheap flight or under-ocean transport. What am I missing? Also should I get a degree in EE as I'm working or just go the trade school route?

>>984275

Have you considered a career as a hobo, or bum?

>>985989

Better to jump off a bridge at that point.

>>984273

To avoid starvation and a torturous death. What if you'd have on other choice but to get off your ass and work before your boomer parents pass away and leave behind nothing.

At the end of the day they just want your money. They won't deny you the chance to go back. That said the biological clock is ticking - if you want to do this and complete a career - now is the time to start - do not delay!

I'm finishing my bachelors at 25. The afternoon classes usually have the older crowd and more laid back professors. If you're making good money now I wouldn't go back for a degree unless you need it for a promotion or raise. If you're low income now it would be worth it.

Non-traditional students (ones over normal age) are getting more common. Go for it. Make your life better.

>>966073 (OP)

No

I went back to school at 49, so no.

Got my college degree at an adult formation school called the AFPA here. Many of these are funded to help you get a motherfucking job. If you saved enough to pay studies to be SURE top have a job that pays you more, go do it faggot.

Now I'm an animator for some Irish Subminiature Horse company, it was worth the investment.

I just finished an Associates degree in computer networking, wondering if its worth doing online classes for a bachelors of science or if I should just give up computers and go back to school for carpentry.

>>987747

Try to get a IT job while working on Bachelors. CCNA cert too wouldn't hurt. In a SHTF scenario, carpentry will be more valuable.

I went back in my mid 20s and I was usually the oldest one in the classroom. I now make way more money than I could have imagined before. I just have money saving up with no effort because I don't spend much at all. Go back to school, it is worth it. I'm finally on the path that few Americans are on and I'll be able to retire before official retirement age. I'll be able to live off my saved income instead of leeching off piss poor social security checks.

>>988057

Collect it at 65-70. You paid into it might as well get it before the pot is so fat brainlets will get convinced non citizen access should be more liberal. The immigrants do a fantastic job leeching it as the system currently is

>>977473

It sounds like your experience with relationships is restricted to picking up twinks at your local bathhouse.

31 is top old for chans

>>>966073 Nope! I'm also studying in a university and I'm 30s!

see a cs degree with only discrete maths.

this shit a scam or nah?

>>966091

If you're OP, I'll tell you I'm going back at 35. Now, our situations may be different. I'm going back because I'm genuinely interested in the topic (comp eng) and am not concerned about "getting a good job" after. Now, I do expect to ROI on my investment, which will be as minimal as possible because I'm going to CC and then transferring to a top quality state school. I wouldn't pay even 30k for this, but my route is less expensive. I am also in a financial situation where I can do it, meaning I don't have to work at the moment during school. If you are in a different financial situation then your answer will be different, but I just want you to know people do it.

>>969776

What fantasy world do you live in? I'd like to live there too.

>I figured he just got lucky as fuck.

Yes, he did get lucky as fuck. 99% of high school dropouts won't make anything even close to $30/hr. Most high school dropouts will be lucky to make minimum wage.

>>977395

>Go for it, there's always the chance that by the time you're 60 we'll live to 200 and 30 year olds will be viewed the way we view 12 year olds now. Retarded.

Wow... Whatever your dosage is, I think it needs adjusting.
