He can say on his resume that he graduated from Austin Peay and doesn't even have to mention it was online. If your major requires you be in a classroom, you could do a hybrid where you went to class a certain number of days a year and did the rest online.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-40910077563841499702015-08-08T08:17:31.558-06:002015-08-08T08:17:31.558-06:00I agree, perhaps you should dip a toe in the water...I agree, perhaps you should dip a toe in the water and check out an online class or two. (Even a free course might be fun - choose something "outside the box" and you might stumble upon a new interest or possible path.<br /><br />Also, I wonder if you've explored any sort of path that would lead you toward counseling, coaching, or leading some sort of support group for others who are dealing with pain/medical issues?

I went back to complete my degree in 2005 after having been away from college for about 30 years. The most I have to show for it now is a debt that I'm still paying for and the degree that has gained me little but the sense of having gotten that degree.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of the academic community, but still something about it attracts me.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-15679667817662847572015-08-07T12:50:34.146-06:002015-08-07T12:50:34.146-06:00It is tricky.

These days, I listen to a lot of lecture pod casts and read nonfiction about whatever is piquing my interest. There's something to be said for a classroom experience and studying with others can be marvelous, but it's not the only way to go.
