]]> Comment on Tips on Choosing Your College Degree by John Mahler http://www.highereducationarticles.com/universities/new-students/tips-college-degree-2.html/comment-page-1#comment-138 John Mahler Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:19:48 +0000 http://www.highereducationarticles.com/?p=459#comment-138 I am 65 and will retire next year. I have always wanted a college education. I know it is late in my life for this consideration. Now, I have the time. Now, I have the money. I am and always have been interested in a wide variety of subject areas. I just don't know what I want to learn. Is there such a thing as an "aptitude" test or an "interest" test a person may take to discover what he really wants to do? I know I surely don't want to nail my rocker to the floor and wait for the Grim Reaper. I also detest fishing, checkers, crossword puzzels, dominoes and chess. If I have to idle I want to spend it learning something. I know I probably won't go into a career at my age, but I don't have to die ignorant. Thanks, John Mahler I am 65 and will retire next year.

When I was in the final stages of the interview process at Google my interviewer, an ex academic told me that he was very impressed by the course that he had taken. Course material is fantastic and there are lots of free courses on OpenLearn, go check out some of these courses if you have any doubts.

The Occupational Therapist at his school insisted he practice practice practice cursive lettering because as she put it "it's a right of passage". What planet do ignorant people like this come from? Her ignorance became more obvious when my son was diagnosed with dysgraphia. His beautiful brain does not process handwriting tasks in the same way as most people.
