What is this? Once I was contacted (made) by an honor society I’ve been getting emails from Harvard Extension - literally once a week.
Way to go! My wife is in her last quarter at PSU, and she's 60. So impressive going back to school when you are older. You can do it!
Thanks! That’s awesome - in one of my psychology courses I learned that people who are older (50 and up) going back to school is rapidly growing. It’s about adapting now.
Western Oregon University is cutting philosophy. This area/field was one of the very few (of the many) that I took that I feel will benefit me long-term. Critical thinking and analyzing is really developed in this field. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kg...cuts/283-f98b1013-be38-4ffd-ab2b-951cdf070985 The last two years I took maybe 8ish classes that were a total waste of time. Philosophy was totally beneficial though.
I was in my mid 50s when I completed my second degree, Computer Science, at Portland State. I'm a big believer in a life long pursuit of knowledge. I took a second year Korean class because I can speak a little bit of Korean. I struggled and wanted to drop it but the professor kept insisting that I continue. I was uncomfortable struggling among a bunch of teenagers for classmates.
Reminds me of myself in my second year Russian class. I'm struggling to stick with it. I scratched and clawed myself to an A, but I feel like I'm more concerned with simply finishing the homework than actually learning the material.
