I tried, I really did, for a long time to NOT post that. But it was calling me, beckoning me to do it. Resistance as they say was futile.  :ahhh

If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

Lots of desire to continue education here it seems.  :tu:

I love learning and would love to go back to school for something completely different than engineering (PhD in theology).  But the ~$60k and 5 years it would take to get there (plus limited job prospects) just isn't worth it at this point.

I would caution anyone wanting to go back to college to critically examine what that education would get you.  Even though I love learning, and read books on many things as quickly as I can get my hands on them, I don't think going into debt for an education that won't pay off is worth it.

This isn't a blanket statement since there are obviously fields of study that will pay off handsomely.  But, in the US at least, so many people now have bachelors degrees that a college education has been watered down almost to the point of meaninglessness.  Its just another "bubble" like the housing market, IMO.

SO, all that to say; if you really like to learn and aren't looking for a career change, there are many free options out there.  Obviously there is the self-study whatever you like route, but there are others too.

For instance, MIT has a free online site with lots of course materials (from what I understand there is a significant amount of MIT's stuff there.)

There are many other options like that around, too.

I can think of plenty I wish I hadn't done.  We won't go there because it's already done.

I wish I had stayed at my most successful job.  It was extremely hard and stressful on me, but I believe now that it might have paid off much better than what I have now. 

I wish I hadn't bought this stupid house.  If I had never done that the job thing would be a non issue.  I could move and do what I want, for now I am stuck in this house until it sells.

I really wish I had completed my education.  I would likely have a much better career.  I still plan on it but we all know how that goes.

I wish I had visited my aging grandparents more before they moved away.  Now with their age and where they live it's likely I'll never see them again.
