I’m A First Time College Student At 50 Yrs Old!

By David • May 28, 2025

I decided to skip college after high school as I was more interested in dr*gs, art, travel, and music.

30 plus years, 3 ex wives and raising 26 year old twins, I’ve decided to start a whole new chapter and get out of retail grocery as a career.

Seemed like the perfect time in my life and now that community college is free for most folks in MA, I’d be silly to not give it a shot. Computer systems engineering technology associates is the goal!

Picked up my ID today and signed up for a summer STEM boot camp (all sorts of cool support stuff as well as my first math and English classes).

I’ve been smiling all day!
