    Question Do you have plans to get more education?

    Be it through schooling and returning to university, or through day classes and getting education on other things, such as learning a new craft, learning a sign language or taking a computer course.

    I would like togo back to college and take more art coursework. At this time it just isn't possible, so I will continue to work at teaching myself as much as possible.

    I have been working on my drawing techniques and have even begun painting...until now, I've only ever used acrylic paints, but my dh bought me a wonderful set of oils and I'm experimenting. There's a big difference between the 2 mediums!

    I'm currently taking a First Responder course and may go further to take the Basic EMT course and test. I'm interested in learning, always, but I find as I "grow up" I really don't want to continue down the same path...I am no longer interested in business, and would be more pleased with nursing or education.

    I've toyed with the idea of going back so that I can become a Children's Librarian. I'd also like to take conversational dutch at a local college so that I would be able to communicate better with my mom if she goes back to her native tongue as she ages (happened to my dgrandma).

    When we can afford it, when the kids are done their degrees I want to go and either just audit, or even possibly take some courses in math and physics.

    I really like physics. I would love to know more.

    I do. I may start taking a few classes this next fall. I would like to eventually get a social work degree.

    I've thought about going back for my Masters degree, but I'm not sure if I will or not. I'm always taking personal enrichment courses for fun!

    I've toyed with the idea of going back to college but time and money and lack of motivation always stop me.

    I will probably take some craft classes in the future, but I don't plan to further my degree any.

    I have to constantly take continuing ed classes to keep my certification~ and just this year, they've decided to let us get partial credit for taking craft classes, cake decorating, etc. (I'm an Activity Director, so it makes sense to me that they would encourage us to take those things!) So, I plan to take some craft classes in the next year in addition to my usual seminars.

    I'd eventually like to go back to school and get my Masters' in Gerontology, or maybe in something with research. That won't happen for many years, though.

    I would love to take a class, but at the present time I cannot for a few reasons, first of which is a diminished attention span. LOL Dh calls it "Dori-itis - can't remember didly" And it is true. ANd social anxioty is another reason. Third is lack of funds. But I hope to someday take more craft classes and expand my abilities...craftwise.
