Never too old to learn?

Hi there GreenMoo.. long time no see, how have you been? Funny you should mention this. I've just gone back to school myself. I'm going for my Associates degree. I'm taking online classes though, so I don't have to leave my house. Best of luck with your studies. I hope we'll be hearing more from you now that you have more access to the Internet!

I don't really think that you're ever too old to learn something new. My mom actually went back to school, and got her Ba and MA, when she was in her 40s. I have to say that she did so well.

I'm back in school and although I loved school back then, this time I'm not enjoying much. I'm 25 now so I am still okay with a lot of reading and researching. However, I take classes with a lot of freshman college students, ages 17-18, and I get irked by every little thing they do. I get annoyed that they are noisy, I get annoyed that some have the nerve to go to school without homework, or pens, or paper, I hate it that some don't seem to put effort into their classes at all. I just try to be a good role model and help them out when they have questions, which is often.

Since being out of school, I have taken an accounting course and a couple of insurance courses. I used to work in insurance and at the time the courses were relevant to my work even though they were very very boring. They helped me get ahead simply for passing them. The accounting course, I took just to learn it and really enjoyed it. I found it easier to study because I took the course and wanted it but I know what you mean. There were those nights where I just thought...what have I gotten myself into. We are never too old to learn.

Seems as if returning to school at a higher age has become more the norm than the exception. I'm in my early 30s and am attending RN courses. Two of my friends have done the same. The economy has forced many to change directions just to survive and make ends meet.

right to that sir. in my school im seeing two old couple studying. i think its their 70s at age and its kinda cool. it is said that they are studying because of that they do not know what to do with their money. cool isnt it

I have taken a class on e bay selling, but never used it. I have also taken allied health courses. Certified nursing assistant, certified medication aid, social services designee, activity director. These were all for working in long term care. I do not care for the field, but I do love going to the classes. It does sound like it is very intense to study the agriculture related classes.

There is no age to learn. Anytime, anywhere and any how people can learn. Absolutely there is no age to learn. It is only the passion which would drag us towards and motivation which would lead to learn.

I have just finished a course at the University of Oxford on Cathedral building post the Norman conquest of England. It floated my boat alright. I am now thinking about doing one of two things: Another course there or an MA in the development and role of the Chapter House in secular cathedrals. You did ask!

i have studied writing through a mailed course. but no have not been back to school and the mailing course was years ago and i gave it up before completion, because i was working long hours then. but it was fun.

Of course you are never too old to start learning.... learning is a continues process that start right from the birth... I was happy when I completed my studies and I had a party on the last day of our exams... but at that time I didn't knew it is just the beginning of new method of learning..

Hello Greenmoo..Well, my opinion for that is its not too late to studied again even if sometimes your brain is aching, it is because you didn't practice it anymore before but don't you worry because I know from the meantime you can adopt the new course..Good luck..

After graduated, I studied about Website designing. It's hard to finish this course. Because I must work on day, and studying on night. I'm very tired and bored. But I completed it finally. Learning is always good for us. But we should things which help for our jobs. If not, we'll be waste power and money.

Life itself is a learning process so there is no young and old.As long as we are alive, we do not stop learning and we should not because learning goes beyond school. After college,i worked immediately to earn myself a pay.I felt good but after a while i discovered that I needed to learn new things about my job so Iu can cope up with others but i never had the chance to have further studies. Now that you can enrol in some courses even at home through online, i am thinking of it as recourse, it's never too late.

i think you should learn as much as possible for as long as possible. that is why we should read and play games like scrabble or word searches.

A few years ago I took some law courses, which I absolutely loved. I had planned to be a paralegal but my divorce attorney told me to save my money--at 52 I was well past the age where anyone would hire me, although he said nobody would admit I was too old. I'd simply be a chronically unemployed paralegal. The law is fascinating to me and it was fun to take classes. Good luck with your course! Hopefully, we'll see a little more of you while you continue your class.

I am 30 years & I'm in school. I say to any one who has the courage and the brilliance to go back to school: bravo! Good for you! You're not satisfied you want something more, you want something new & exciting & challenging to do. I applaud you. It's not easy but you're doing it so you should be proud of yourself.

Nobody can ever be considered too old to learn something new. We are learning everyday whether we realize it or not. When we are no longer learning then we are no longer breathing either.
