Young people in college what do you think when you see an old person like me in college classes?

@SW-User I got my first degree when I was age 36. I was often the oldest one in my classes too. It was nerve wrecking. I had nothing in coming with the kids.

@SW-User My experience came with young girls trying to flirt with me. That always made me uncomfortable considering I was happily involved. It had been too long since I was in school, and while I'm sure I'd get culture shock again now I'd have a little more under my belt in the conversations I have now with my nephews at 16 and 19. At that time, they were 8 and 11. :)

@SW-User Sounds like an experience.

@SW-User It was. How are you enjoying this time? And what did you study then and what are you now studying?

@SW-User I have not registered yet. I will most likely start classes next spring I got my associates in Computer Information Systems and got a job before I got the bachelors. After that I may go for the masters. I can get good jobs with just the associates but it may open up new opportunities too.

@SW-User Register! :) They also say, the way to keep the mind young is through learning.

@SW-User I do a lot of that too. I love to learn. I get bored if I don't keep on learning. What was your degree for?

@SW-User Applied Photography. Never finished, let's leave it at timing of life and circumstances in that time of my life [grief, lost my father]. I studied what I found passionate, and beyond, it was the type of program that a diploma only really means so much. I only finished four months out of two years, but did learn a lot and use that in my personal photography creatively.

@SW-User That is good you got something out of the class. That is what college should be for is to improve our lives in someway.

@SW-User Indeed! I don't know how in this marketplace anyway I would have taken the diploma and made a career out of it. My aesthetic taste in photography would have only professionally led to maybe advertising contribution - and then I would have been in a field very competitive where I'd need to be much more competitive than I actually want to be. I'm happy with I spent my time looking to just further my interest and passion. So I work and create photography on the side as art. :)

@SW-User As long as you are happy.

@SW-User Hah! Well said .... I'm not, entirely... Yet, I'm pretty sure that's something else in it's totality!

@SW-User What do you think would make you happy?

@SW-User That would take way way too much time to describe... One would be a relationship full of love and respect, myself dealing with some of my personality quirks, expectations ..... involving myself more with my family than I do now (I'm there and with them, so you know), mostly a mental jedi mind trick where I relearn the lust for life I once had .... :)

@SW-User It sounds like you have some changes you need to make for the future.

@SW-User Indeed.. That's why I said [i]way way too much time to describe[/i].

@SW-User Once change at a time and you will get there.

@SW-User Understood, and all fine.... I'm smart enough with a moody disposition, with a healthy upbringing, I'll get there somehow. :)

@SW-User You got a good foundation for life.
