I'm an older person and I have graduated college many years ago. Several years ago when I was substituting I took some courses at a junior college. I loved it very much. the reason for this was that I took courses that I was interested in. During my college days, I took courses that was required of in order to become a teacher. I really enjoyed going to junior college because I took what I wanted to take such as journalism, art, music, etc. Now I feel I'm much too old to go to junior college and I don't feel like taking it seriously any longer Is there any way I can find out where I can take classes that are for adults that is not too expensive. Om-line classes can be fun, but you have to pay for them.

Hi. I have thought of two solutions for your problem. First solution, to help you get what you want, a on-line classes are indeed expensive if you do not know where to look for. Here in Asia, there are a lot of distance learning programs that you can enroll in and the best thing about this is that it is more affordable. Try searching for on line schools in the Philippines. Second solution, try changing your perspective on this matter. I know a lot of people, actually, friends here in the Philippines who are already established in their own profession but opted to pursue their interest like studying law or finishing their undergraduate degrees. Age should not be a hindrance for you. Be an inspiration for others. Life is a never ending learning process, no one is too old to learn. I honestly admire you. Some adults stop learning after college.

Hello Listen to your words,I benefit very much!!yeah,I think a person who have the desire to do better is never too oid to learn. This is a fulling life,right? On-line classes can be very convenient and efficient,I think.If you wanna learn it,pay for it,it is fair.
