Apart from the bread and butter lessons like, eng, maths, pe, sci etc. What else did you take?
What was the best one you ever did?
Mine is DIDA, because it all computer E-portoliod, so i never have to write anything in it and at the end there is no test!

I didn't go to college till I was 32! As soon as I left school I went straight into a job but it came to a point in my life where I wanted to learn something new so I went back to college, it was a big gamble and quite daunting. I spent three years studying childcare, working with babies, toddlers and young children from 0-8 it was very rewarding and I got great qualifications and results from my efforts, but because I am male no one will employ me, so I have to rethink what my next career will be, but I enjoyed those three years and it was so satisfying, being able to help children and I got great results.

I like to brag about a class I never went to and got a 4.0 in it, lol. I went to a community college, where the expectations are pretty low. I had a 4.0 for 2 years straight and didn't even have textbooks!! The class was copy and editing. I had the same teacher for that class as I had in my journalism class. They changed the night of the class and I explained to him I would have to drop out because it conflicted with my work schedule. He said not to do that, he would have me do extra work in the journalism class and just grade me for it like that. That teacher must have liked me - our "work" was me & my 2 friends from the class going out to breakfast most of the time! I did write a lot for him though & I enjoyed it immensely. I ended up having that teacher for a good 4-5 classes!
the most useful class i ever took was one microsoft office - i learned to use excel & publisher and it really paid off - I use both now for working at home for some people.
I took a class called "World Religions" that was really interesting even though the teacher made it so boring. I came to realize all religions believe in a few same fundamental things and the rest are just slight variations.
some horrible classes i took were macroeconomics, human diversity, creative writing (how could this one be terrible? I don't know, but it was!), and public relations. I also took a lot of boring marketing/business classes but they have been helpful.
That being said, I think college is overrated. I only went to college because it was cheaper to pay for the tuition than to buy my own health insurance. My hubby has 2 bachelor's degrees and not using either of them!
