Do you want to continue your education?
« on: April 13, 2014, 02:59:18 am »
Do you want to continue your education? Or are you done with school. I have graduated
from college years ago and then years later had to start my career over after losing a job.
 I attended school after losing my job and now I am done.
I do not have the energy to go back to school to learn anything else.
I will use the online programs if my interest is peaked to learn
Something else.

What about you?

Believing that you are never too old to learn something new, I have gone to school online at Ashford University and earned a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a minor degree in Information Systems.  I would like to go back and earn my Master's degree in Accounting, but money is a big problem right now.  I am looking into options to earn a scholarship or two.

I want to go back to college, but I will be changing my degree, I was going to college for nursing, when I had my son he was in the NICU for 40 days and is special needs, after that I decided nursing just wasn't for me (even though everyone says its good to be on both sides the nurse and a parent of a disabled child) but now I have a passion helping adults that have behavioral or mental problems, so that's what I want to go back to school for.

No, I do not want to continue my education. I already went to college, and graduated.

I agree you are never too old to learn, but at 75 I think my day for formal education is over.

I would love to continue my education. Right now I'm currently taking free online courses. I'm doing this to learn, but to also find out what I'm actually good at. There are tons of subjects I'm interested in; however, there's not many I'm good at. I don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars only to fail.

you've got to keep learning ...formal or otherwise on the job...self taught...online whatever or get towed under...you may not think you are getting an education but you sure are learning all the time.

YES! I graduated with an associate's degree in Political Science, something I decided I no longer wished to pursue. Then I decided to go back to school and study Criminal Justice, which I know I want to pursue a career in. However, I got married and got a full time job and had to leave, which means I paid a ton of money to never even obtain my bachelor's degree. So me and my husband have discussed the pros and cons, and decided we should both go back to online school and finish our degrees. I always loved being in a classroom and learning new things, so I'm bit sad that with my job I won't be able to go a physical school, but online schooling still sounds pretty cool!

   Education does not guarantee your income and social status any more in most societies. I have seen less educated people being millionaires...while some PhD's are simply broke and homeless. Your time in this life is limited and very valuable. It is never too late to learn new things. Intelligent people are in the leaning mode most of their time because it is to their advantage. You will learn how to survive thru difficult times.
