Would You Go Back To School In Your Forties? And What Would You Study?

Hopefully one day soon you'll get a chance to complete that psychology degree. That is if you still want to, of course. I know how life happens. But it was important to look after family. Thanks Carolbee for your input.

Oh, I think you could do it, Laurika. Perhaps just take one or two classes per semester and focus on something that you would like to study. That's what I say anyway. Thanks for dropping by, good luck, and have a terrific Wednesday morning.

Okay, my friend, after 22 years of thinking about it, it's got to be time to go. Knowledge is good, better paying job is excellent and more power to you too. Have a wonderful Tuesday evening.

Yes, that would be something one has to decided on. What to actually study when going back. Sometimes the local JCs don't quite have the list of classes that would be of interest to us. But keep looking, or thinking about it, something will come up. I guess you could list some of your passions. Know what I mean? Have a wonderful day.

That is so cool about your uncle getting his Bachelor's Degree. What an inspiration for all of us. And you're right about older students--seems like learning is a priority. Thanks, my friend, hope you have a great Wednesday morning.

Well, school is something to look forward to. I hope your back is not all too bad. And how come you have to learn how to speak German. Don't you live there? LOL. Have a nice day also.

Ah, hoe gaat het met jouw Marga? Berlin is erg mooi en de mensen zein lief. Ik ben van Beverwijk. Maar ik was en kleine griet toen. Oy, that's my second grade Dutch. LOL. My German is just as good. Hehehe. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great.

Lol, yes I have been living here for almost one year. German I can understand, I can read it.But to talk it is a whole different thing. Most people understand me, but some keep asking me to talk slower. Dutch ís quite simular to german, I have talked dutch for over 20 years. I was born in Canada, so my first language is English. Thanks, but my back did not get better but worse. I slipped on the stairs. The bottom of my back is worn out. 10 years ago I had a hernia operation. And know it is finished. No more hard work, no more work. That is why it is important for me to learn how to speak german properly. Or go back to Holland. But, I have learned to like it here in Berlin. I did not expect the people to be so nice. Thank you for your respons. Take care.

I hear ya, my friend. But at least now we can go to school on our own terms. Besides, I think you've made yourself a nice list of classes to take. Culinary school sounds a little hard to me though. In any case, thanks for your input. Have fun and stay cool, as in hip or something like that.

I think you should finally go for it.

yup Welding and I loved it after I go tcertified I worked at a place that made horse trailers I welded the the doors that seperate the horses from one another great fun . and good luck on your AA lots of work there. hugs

Welding? That's awesome. I would like to get my AA degree also. Well done.

That's quite a nice list to choose from. Really couldn't lose with any of those choices. Thank your WiseDragon for giving us your wise counsel. :)

Wow! You are one smart lady. Both law and medicine would be an honored profession. But oh, the sleep you'll miss. LOL. And as far as memorizing stuff, there's got to be a way to do that. There's probably quite a few books written on the subject. Oh no, more things to memorize. Sorry. LOL. Have a great week.

I am just like most average men and women who loves to study hehehe. I think at forties I will no longer love sleep as much as I love now. LOL. Law and medicine are few of the most challenging courses for me which I'd love to study even before I finished my engineering degree. I was one of the unfortunate not to be able to take those courses because of financial reasons. I am claiming to finish one of the course at forties with financial stability. God knows how I truly desire to become a lawyer or a doctor, but I am very much grateful knowing that He made me an engineer!

Yay! You are way too awesome! I hope you get to go back soon and finish that degree. I know how life can turn directions once in awhile. With all A's you better get back there soon. :)

Heheehee, you're the second person that's told me so. Hope you're enjoying life outside of school now.

Wow! So you'll be the brains behind those lawyers.

Ah yes. Not too many schools will teach you how to be happy though. That would come from God Himself, everlasting joy I do believe is His to give and ours to just receive. I know, that's a general statement and we could go on with this lesson, but that's all I got for now. So be happy.

Except for writng everything else sounds a little scary but most interesting. I would love to take up photography as well. Thanks, my friend for dropping in on us.

Awesome, awesome, that is a wonderful dream and you, no doubt, will achieve it. Thanks for your input.

Kudos to you too! I agree, learning is a continuous process and it's kind of fun too.

For sure, foxygirle. Juggling family, business and a school life is a challenge. But hey, what's life without challenges. Keeps us alert. It's all good. Thanks for your input. Have a wonderful Monday.

Thanks, my friend. I hope to have a fullfilling second career also. Thanks again and have a wonderful Monday afternoon.
