the unthinkable....college!?!

i'm 30-something, newly out of the org.

my spouse is also on the way out.. both of us were raised in "the truth"....aka no college education.

we have 2 small children, soon to be 3. we both want to go back to school.

I would do it. I'm over fifty and going for it. It's something I should have done when I was young. I'm trying to convince my son who was raised a witness to do it also but its so ingrained that he doesn't need one to survive in this world that he thinks all will be rosy. I found out late in life that you can't go without a degree, especially if you want to get paid decent wages.
There are plenty of public universities, with cheaper tuition fees, in all states. Many times they offer online classes through the normal degree programs. Online courses are becoming more popular and universities don't have a choice to follow suit. Many times I discuss with the professor to see if he requires attendance. This semester I have two online classes, and the two other are regular classes (they have streaming video of the class material) so I have arranged with the professors to only show up for the tests. Not all will agree to this, depending on the material, but I've found most professors willing to work on the issue.
Good luck, make the decision, you won't regret it later, trust me.

If A Police Officer "Asked" You To Do Something Would You Necessarily Do It?

if a cop asked you if he could search your vehicle, would you let him?.

if a cop asked you personal information would you feel obliged to answer him?.

do you believe that a police officer has the "right" to question you about a matter simply because he's a cop?.
MarkSutter

you want to strip search me?
of course officer right away

Is The USA As Dominant Now That Obama Is President?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
have we lost our clout, our influence?.

are we as protected since president obama's taken office?.
MarkSutter

The US is going down the tubes anyway. It's impossible to sustain an economy where prices of products are going up and salaries do not follow. We are living the times when the power will shift. Pretty soon the US wil be invaded by little chinese needing a little more than a hut, only because we will have allowed them to buy us. We are becoming less dominant each day Obama or not. You can thank Wall Street for that.
