it may not help you get a job, but it's a good experience to have and finish.

well i have to do say something other then hang out at the org all day I feel like i'm waisting my life, I'm a couch potato at all sense of the words.

No, it's never too late. People go back to college at a variety of ages Lisa. Learning is a life long experience. The sense of achievement at the end of your studies, will be worth it in itself. good luck!

just don't be one of those old people that always sits in front, always takes the notes, and always asks a bunch of questions. i hated those people...

no... by all means, learn. but just don't act like you want to. it's so lame...

It is never too late to go back to college! Go!

As RedFeathers and Lleena said, it's never to late to go back to college.

I am going back to school to earn my masters degree sometime soon. I have been thinking about it. As well after I take one more management course in the military (a requirement for future promotions and better pay) I will earn my SECOND associate degree.

I already have one associate degree and a bachelors degree.

I am also considering taking Hungarian language arts classes. I've been interested in taking daily, if not weekly, classes in a classroom setting since 1997. I did have the opportunity to learn Hungarian in late 2001 through mid-2002 at the American-Hungarian Cultural Center in Metro Detroit (I'm of Hungarian heritage but never learned the language or culture until late in the 1990s), so I have a basic understanding of the Hungarian way of life. But I need the daily interaction and the grilling. It stems from I guess being an adult and having too may things to do. If I would have learned the Hungarian language at a young age, when children are more prone to absorb things, then I would not be writing about my interest in learning and understanding and speaking and reading a second language fluently.

But if I do not earn a masters degree I might opt for another bachelors/undergraduate degree. One of my good friends has a double bachelors degree in accounting/finance and business management.

So, bottom line, if you have the time and the effort and the money and the avenue to secure scolarship money to pay for high education, do so. It seems that in the world today, at least in America, that everyone seems to have a bachlors in something. That's like the lowest common denominator when businesses hire for jobs. It is those people that have masters or doctorate degrees that stand apart from the others.

But when you look at it soon everyone will have advance degrees in something. But nonetheless, go back to school for the sake of learning because as the saying goes, you learn something new every day.

that's true, thanks.

Truthfully I want to become a journalist and maybe later on a professional writer. I was kind of looking for something, that'll help me focus in that area. Right now I'm trying to find all the info I can on different programs, it'll be kind of hard to choose from though, cuz they're so many choices out there.

I say go for it Lisa!

applekisses and I are journalists as well as creative types. Although I want to further my education and get a masters in fine arts or something of that nature, applekisses is suggesting that I branch out and learn a different area, like computer science or something like that.

Think of it as major and minor.

And if you read between the lines, I have access to money from the government (Montgomery GI Bill) to further my education. I have a nice chunch of change to pursue my advanced degree.
