I didn't graduate college until 30. I tell people college is where you find out what you want to do with your life. You may find out college is not it and there's nothing wrong with that. I graduated from UGA at the same time my friend graduated from Athens Tech. I have a mech engr degree and he has his physical therapist's degree. He's also only two months older than me. Our first years out, he's making basically the same as me and can go higher as well. His degree was only a two year degree and he was the only one in that class that didn't already have a four year degree. There was even a person with a masters degree in his class.
Also, my job is engineer in title only. Most of my counterparts have high school diplomas or a two year tech degree. You can go to any of the boom areas right now and make 100k a year easily doing my job or even just being an operator which is basically a laborer. You'll have to work long and hard hours though. You'll be away from your family too. You'll also have potential to move up. All that with a simple two year degree or a work ethic and willingness to better yourself.
