Been there, done that already – I started grad school 16 years after college graduation.

Do you think you could function in today’s modern college world?
Loading...
That would be the challenge right there. 🙂

I agree. When I was in college there were only a few computers and they were in the lab! The entire library operated solely off the Dewey Decimal! lol
Loading...
WHAT?!!!!! A Dewey decimal system? We’re aging ourselves. 🙂
Loading...
I know. lol
Loading...
🙂 🙂 🙂

I have no idea, partly because I don’t know how different it is.
Loading...
It might be easier. It’s most online based for homework, papers, assignments, etc. Almost zero writing.
Loading...
Probably manageable, but not on the agenda.
Loading...
Of course! One’s education is never truly complete 😉
Loading...
What would you want to study?
Loading...
I would like to complete my Masters degree
Loading...
Are you planning to do so?
Loading...
I’ve been thinking about it. There’s just quite a few things that need to align perfectly for me to be able to do so. But yes, I will if I can make it work.
Loading...
In a heartbeat. I love learning and schools where I have control of how and what is being taught and learned
Loading...
What school would you like to attend?
Loading...
The reason I never did a PhD is that I couldn’t narrow down what I wanted to do. Actually before I retired I thought of being a spiritual director, life coach or something in education to teach at a college level- Christian education. Then I asked the question “ did I want to give up my freedom and have to deal with other people’s issues and problems ?” And the answer was no. I keep reading and now write my Congress people and help with climate change issues and just following my own curiosity.

I believe in learning until the grave, have studied in university as an adult, loved it. I regularly do online courses with Coursera and FutureLearn and love it still, my most recent has just finished and was ‘The Age of Cathedrals’ with Yale University, a brilliant course!
Loading...
Good for you. I need to do this too.
Loading...
Yes, to me it was a necessity as my formal school education ended at age 15 out of necessity. But there are so many possibilities these days for self education. 🙂
Loading...
I have done some courses with Coursera as well. It might be time for another one. I too, will forever be a student. I love to learn new things.
Loading...
You are the second to mention Coursera. I’ve gotta check it out.
Loading...
I was very pleased with the courses I took. I took some on-line coaching/training young athlete courses. They were very informative and good courses. I needed them for work.
Loading...
Not now, no. I’ve already gone twice. That’s enough. 😃
Loading...
Third time is the charm.
Loading...
No chance in hell. My lot in life has been cast…for better or worse. 😃
Loading...
I am learning from home, right now, and would definately go back to school if there was a Danish teacher in Quebec. Unfortunatly, I think it is too much of a niche for someone to make a living out of it, so I have to work by myself!
Loading...
That’s not always a bad thing though.
Loading...
Very true 🙂
Loading...
I might. I went back to school when I changed careers when I was in my 30s. I also consider that doing online learning which I am doing for photography and photo editing for my blog is sort of “going back to school”. Good question Danny!
Loading...
Gotta keep the mind sharp.
Loading...
Like a razor! Especially as we get older!
Loading...
Absolutely. I consider it all the time. I love learning. I have my Masters in Human Resources. I’ve considered going back for an Master’s in Ed or even a PhD in Ed. I’ve also considered going to seminary. If I do go back, it won’t be until my kids are a bit older.
Loading...
I can imagine the idea of kids and college could be a bit overwhelming.
Loading...
Yes and I am considering it now, I just can’t decide what I want to be when I grow up
Loading...
I don’t recommend growing up.
Loading...
College? Yes, if I can do it just the way I want. High school. No.
Loading...
These days you can just about create your own course.
Loading...
No. Not formal traditional school. At age sixty I don’t want more student loans. Learning is forever. I’m in the School of Life.
Loading...
I’m almost 50 and I would not go back to school at this point either.
Loading...
Next month February 27th I will turn 60. I’m always learning through people and any particular subject I’m interested in like Art and Art History. YouTube has many excellent Free videos on a variety of topics.
