I don't hold a degree of anything, but I'm interested to know at what age did you guys attain your first 4 year degree?

I had completed my finals when I was twenty one, but graduated when I had just turned twenty two.

Very good, I assume you majored in physics correct? I see you in the physics subforum quiet often. Have you been content with that choice?

23 I think by the time it was all finished and I actually graduated.

 

Are you asking because you are now thinking about going down that route?

Good heavens no. I am almost wholly ignorant of physics, though I did one year of it at university. My degree is in Geology, with minors in Chemistry, Botany and Geography. My maths is too poor to be any good at physics and I'm too lazy to rectify it.

My degree was 4 years, but that's unusual here in the UK, most are 3

I was 22 when I finished it.

At 21. I was thinking of doing a Master's ( MSc ) in Solid State Physics ( but didn't ) so I didn't apply to graduate until i was 23.

I had finished my BSc the day before I turned 22 and honours the next year. If my high school path had been different and I hadn't of needed to take a gap year to get citizenship, I would have been just shy of 20 when I finished. I'm glad it turned out how it did, in retrospect.

21. Oh my god, I just realized that was 41 years ago.

Still doing my undergraduate. I'm hoping to do my postgraduate in genetics.

 

 

Who is doing their postgraduate?

Never!

 

(I did study for a Masters degree in my 40s but somehow managed to avoid getting the qualification despite getting very good marks in all the exams and course work ...)

Why? My destination is research.

Strange is answering the question "At what age did you attain your bachelors in science?" His reply is "Never." He is not suggesting this is an appropriate choice for others.

Exactly. (And, even though I hadn't thought of that final corollary, I agree with it.)

I finished my BS in 2006 and my MS in 2010. Both are in Information Systems Management.

37 LLB and 40 LLM; PhD stalled.
