I am 31, got 18 credits and about to start my 3rd semester. I go to Strayer University if any of you heard of it.

All these terms for the different types of schools around the world.
I'm 22 and I will be starting my bachelor degree in Software Engineering at the end of this month

I'm nearly 26 and have 88/127 credits complete. I'm going for a Game and Simulation Programming degree from DeVry (reallly expensive university).

32, got an Associates Degree in Multimedia and Web Design ten years ago from the Art Institute of Seattle (class of 2004). The program taught basic web design, audio engineering, video editing, and art; so while it was fun it unfortunately made me a: "Jack of all trades, master of none", as the saying goes. I spent most of the past ten years doing ecommerce, internet marketing, and other things including some graphic design, and a little basic front end web design (I have spit out my fair share of Wordpress sites for clients). I even did some construction work for awhile.
Now, I am teaching myself math, science, computer science, and electrical engineering. My goal is to learn the equivalent of a degree in CS & EE and eventually go back to university if I can save enough on the side to afford it. My future career goals lie in the areas of robotics/drones, website/mobile apps, and on the side: games.

@Sim yea, I'm taking the online courses. The nearest campus was over 100 miles from me and I didn't feel like moving at the time.

I am either 32 or 33 (I honestly can't remember), and I am in college now. I am a senior, with 103/124 credit hours towards a Bachelor in Computer Science. I spent some time in my 20's working in telecommunications and decided I didn't want to do that anymore after I got laid off from my last job in that industry.

21, I quit college about a year ago. I was going for a civil engeneer degree until I realized that there was literally no jobs and that industry was falling. There is no software engineer degree here in Honduras, so I taught myself some javascript and I'm a freelancer now. I work on internet freelance jobs, but I also work with some companies on my city. All in all I'm happy with my income, I earn way better than the average salary here for now, and I'm optimist that I can double my hourly rate by next year. Though I would like to study in the US either software engineering or data scientist.
