Question

In Australia and considering mechanical or civil..

Answer 1

No at 25 the tendacy to stay out till 4 in the mourning drinking is mostly out of your system and it will probubly be easier to study (at least for me it was) I started at 24.

Answer 2

no Australia needs more engineers you will have no problem finding a job even in your third or fourth year if you wish.

Answer 3

nah, man.  that's bullshat.

an engineering degree is like 4years?? thats nothing man! you've got another 60 to live!

I'm 20 & study law at one of aust's top universities, but at like a third of my

co-students are mature-age & over 30.

Answer 4

Never to old, just go for it! My partner graduated with engineering degree when he was 31, then at 34 got shares in a small kids playground building company, now at 42 the company is very successful and he is thinking of taking an early retiral. What have u got to lose?? Good luck!

Answer 5

Everyone who has answered so far is right! I had plenty of classmates over the age of 35. I think the average age of an engineering student is 26.

Look at it this way:

            It takes 4-5 years to complete an undergrad

            engineering degree. Long time right.

            You're 25 now.

            How old will you be in 4-5 years? 29 - 30.

            You going to be 30 anyways. You might as

            well be 30 with an engineering degree.

Believe me you wont regret it. I started when I was 24 make good pay and love it!

Just promise you'll make good use of it. btw CHOOSE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING!!!!!!!
