Is it normal to take 7 years to graduate from a 2 year college?

I switched majors twice, which caused me to be in college longer. I'm almost 30, but I feel like adulthood has just begun for me. And I don't have a job yet.I feel so behind.

    Okay the traditional 4 year colleges? If you're wondering, yes it is very common for people to take 6 years to complete it. That's why there's this huge push by colleges to encourage students to graduate faster.

    As for taking 7 years to complete a 2 year program? That's okay. I guess you've been doing other things in addition to taking courses along the way. No problem there. A degree is a degree, once you have the paper in your hand. Often students dabble around to see what they like. LOL, that's how colleges make even more money!!! I seriously think colleges try to encourage indecisive majors. It's normal to switch.

    Absolutely. That's why it's CALLED a 7-year college.

    Oh, wait.......

      I didn't enjoy nursing and occupational therapy, but when I finally switched to graphic design I really enjoyed it.

        My boyfriend has tried to tell me to study nursing, but it does not appeal to me in the least.

          He probably just has a fetish for scrubs.

    Maybe seek some other path than college, as clearly it's become apparent that it isn't benefitting you.

    I think it takes some people up to 6 years so close to that amount of time
