>felt lost and dropped out uni at 18
>messed around but got sick of it all
>took up math foundation courses and dabbled in programming this year, been doing surprisingly great

really think I can do well in a cs/math degree but how do employers view people who graduate ~5 years later than normal people?

No, it is not too late @ 23.
There are good number of people who are 27+ in Uni.
Employers don't give a fuck at what age did you get your degree.
They care about the work you can do for them, what can you contribute so-to-speak.
That being said, you better grad with 1st Class honours, you goddamn late bloomer

what a depressing chart

>> No.16488785

failed HS then went on to fail Tech. Waged for 10 years or so doing various different things. Went graduated uni at 32 and haven't looked back. Currently doing a master at 37 cos i miss the learning and my wage cuck job only offers so much in terms of mental stimulation. It is never too late anon. never.

Anon, I did the same as you. I dropped out and ended up going back at 26 years old. Going to back to university unironically changed my life. I am doing something I actually have an interest in, because I have an interest it is far easier to learn about it. Despite being in progress, I've landed myself a decent job in IT and I believe studying IT is what gave me the advantage.
Imo - I believe that studying later in life may be viewed as more respectable than earlier. Especially in some fields like IT, since so much has changed in even half a decade.

OP's graph is based on having kids.

having young kids is stressful
Having grown kids is comfy.

Look at the job market and the student debt repayment.

I started again at 26. I had to do charity work to get references.

Now married, kid, degree, job, car, a little savings, working on my own business
