Is it ever too late to go back to school?Follow

Judging solely from your posts, I can only guess you were graded on a curve and that your class consisted of you, a cat, two potted plants and a dish-sponge.

And the cat made Valedictorian

It isn't the money they pay the teachers that makes publicly educated people morans. It's the people they hire.

My father went to night school, to get his business degree. He was working in th mail room at the time. Now he has a master's degree from Kellogg at Northwestern, the number one business school in the nation. If I were you I'd go back to school.

Quite a few, and they're fu[/b]cking idiots.

Go for it Sab. I went back to school as an older student and I appreciated everything I learned much more because of the sacrifice it took. It is a significant investment (both time and money) but you're investing in yourself, so at least you control your returns.

Good luck.

I'm 30 and just finished, my degree. In my graduating class there were 2 older woman, one was 54 and the other was 42.

As others have said, go the night school route. The students are a little older, and more importantly, they're overwhelmingly there because they want to be. They're often also paying for the classes out of pocket, so they're not there to party.

When I was taking classes at the U, I started in the daytime program with the other 18-20 year olds, then switched to evening courses. The difference in the quality of the classes was unbelievable. The "kids" would all sit silent and glassy eyed, never asking questions, never offering opinions, never answering questions, never expressing the slightest bit of interest or enthusiasm in the subject matter, never participating unless absolutely forced to by the professor. Those classes seemed to drag on for an eternity.

In contrast the classes with the more adult crowd were no picnic, but people participated. The students were far less timid and seemed more determined not to waste the opportunity the classes were affording them.

And Virus, nice to see you blowing hot air, as usual. Don't believe me about the value of a college degree. Check out the statistics about wages of people with degrees versus without.

Lady Dead,



About the only thing any of you has said that's worth a d*mn. Expounding on that; "bettering yourself" is not dependent on which school you attend, but rather are those actions in accordance with obtaining your goals. And your goals should never be confined by something as vulgar as a lack of money.

Isnt every post here pointless?

Too Easy.
