Going back to school as an adult. Community college, certificates, online courses, and lifelong learning. It is never too late to learn.
Eve Packet   Balancing study with work and family Jun 2, 2025 1:51 am
Time blocking, studying in small windows, and an understanding family. It is hard but it is doable. You can do this.

I wish I had known this sooner. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Warning to others: I tried a shortcut and it did NOT end well. Follow the instructions exactly.

It felt intimidating but the classroom needed my perspective as much as I needed the degree. Sharing my experience.

Disagree respectfully. In my experience the opposite is true.

Update from my earlier post: tried it and it works like a charm. Thank you!!!

Started learning something new in my sixties. The brain stays sharp when you use it. Sharing what we are all learning.

Respectfully, my mileage varied. But I can see why this works for most people.
Donna Vasquez   Online courses for skill building Feb 14, 2025 8:51 am
Free and low-cost online courses can teach almost anything. Sharing the platforms and courses that delivered real value.

I had given up on this entirely and your post got me to try again. Glad I did.

Does this work for everyone or just certain setups? Asking because my situation is a bit different.
Frank Okonkwo   Community college is underrated Jan 19, 2025 2:51 pm
Affordable, flexible, and the instructors actually teach. A community college certificate changed my career. Do not overlook it.

Adding to this: you can also try a different approach that worked for me...
