How The Fuck Do I Tell My Strict Parents I Want to Go to College at 25?

[zerotohero]

I’m almost 25, and I need to tell my parents I want to go to college, but I know they’re gonna lose their shit. They’re insanely strict, and I can already hear them saying, “Why the fuck didn’t you do that when you were 18?”

After high school, I wasted some time, then did a degree that took longer than it should have. Now I’ve been drifting for a while, just doing short courses here and there, but nothing serious. I’ve realized I need a real degree if I want a future, probably in business administration or finance, but bringing this up to them is gonna be a nightmare.

They’ll throw every insult at me, say I’m lazy, that I wasted years, that I should’ve done this ages ago. I know I fucked up, but I want to fix it. The problem is, I don’t even know how to approach them or when to bring it up. If I don’t do this soon, I’ll just rot forever.

How the fuck do I get them to take me seriously and not just shit all over me?

business degrees or anything finance related isn't really worth it if you don't have the connections, let alone the looks, to begin with. do you really NEED to tell them or get their permission to go to college?
