"After my time in the military, I tried to complete a degree several times but didn’t stick with it until May 2024, when I graduated with a computer science degree from the University of Arkansas at the age of 39. This led me to an infrastructure engineering job at a bank."
"I feel behind because many colleagues at my level are younger than me, but I think getting a degree was the right choice."
"I spent a year applying to technical defense jobs with my Air Force experience without landing anything. I also went to EMT school to become a paramedic, but couldn’t find an EMT job either."
"Looking back, I might not have committed to the programs because I wasn't on the hook for debt, which made me less motivated to finish the courses."
