I'm going back to school

I decided that I am going back to school. So today I applied to the online university of my choice. I chose and online university because this way I can do it around my schedule and I can be home. Going to a physical place is great because you can get visual and hands on experience in some instances but the travel is not ideal for me. I intend on going for a masters. I thought about doing it little by little but then thought why drag it out even more. They have an app that I can use to access my classes which is great . My wife had done her schooling online and said when she did it they didn't have an app she had to use her laptop when she was away from home during the scheduled classes.

its great too because you don't have to worry about dealing with the other students who might be younger and be a pain in the neck with their immature crap.

@lokisdad That's an awesome reason too. It's better to teach by example instead of trying to tell them to do something that you didn't do.

There is no age limit for taking up any studies. It keeps the brain well sharpened.

I was also thinking about that as well i went with a well known reputable place. My wife did it and she said when she did she was a bit iffy at first but now the place is more popular and you even see commercials for the place.
