I am sneaking this post into the Philosophy, Religion, and Spirituality category for two reasons. First, because I define Philosophy as "the study of the best way to think about things" (which I think applies to this post). And second because I couldn't find a better category in which to list "self improvement information".
So here goes. For those of you who may not be aware, most states offer some version of tuition-free college classes to anyone over the age of 60. I am lucky enough to live in a state where they will actually issue me a bachelors or even a Master's degree under this program. The only limitation is that I am allowed a maximum of nine credit hours a semester.
I realize that many people have no desire to return to school. I however am fascinated by a large number of subjects about which I know practically nothing about. I turned 60 in May and I begin classes on Monday.
I just wanted to put the idea out there in case anyone on the forum hadn't heard of it before.
