Ever Thought About Going back To School?

Ever thought about going back to school to take a course or class? What would you take and why?

I'd like to brush up on my languages.. and as a hobby, take some math classes..

School for the kids starts here where I live tomorrow.. ah, my buddy is looking forward to having the house to himself during the day without his 4 girls.. I'm gonna welcome it too because when they aren't home, they're here bugging me!

I posted my reply on the "featured..." thread. As stated by me, there, I get a free education everyday by practicing 'people watching'.

Also, I am enrolled in an online Certified Nutritionist course.

I'm over educated as it is (engineering, business administration, computer programming) but still curious.

I'm thinking about taking a course in geology this fall. Why? Because it's probably the subject I know the least about.

I took a geology course in junior college..

Becareful pahleh, that class could lead you down a rocky road.

I go "back to school" every few years. It's part of being an IT guy - you have to stay up-to-date and get recertified periodically.

Suppressed groan.

Always think about going back.

Read (or listen to) a ton of books to keep learning.

Would like to go to school to teach as well as to learn.

Regards,
Keith

I'm a teacher and a strong believer in "never stop learning." Glad to see so much interest in education!

You actually learn a lot BY teaching. It's good for everybody!

I actually went to school to become a teacher's aide.. decided I didn't have the patience for it!
