But if you want to learn something there is more than one way to get the information, and I can show you how.

I am your personal Education Expert.

However, I think that college and education should be fun! If you are not interested in the subject you are studying you are wasting your time, money, and energy.

Stop, let’s find something that suits you better!

There are so many thing you can do… make sure you are not just going through the motions of getting a degree if you are not interested.

True Story:

The funny thing is that my husband had no college education when we met, but he was one of the most educated men, and still is I’ve ever met!

He knew that college wasn’t for him… and that’s okay! He wanted to change his career direction so he began looking into certificates, a few classes here and there, crash courses (a concentrated time focused on a topic to learn the basics in a few days, say a week to a month or so) he wanted to change his career direction. So we worked to discove his options. He’s had some amazing life changing experiences with these courses!

He did decide later that a college education was for him, but we had a very clear understanding between us that if he decided to go to college is was purely because he wanted to. I’d still love him anyway. He was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed college even as an adult. He found a number of advantages to being in college, for one thing the professors had a different respect for him, he wasn’t attending just out of high school so there was much more in common. Also he found that there were a number of adults in college too so he wasn’t just the anomaly.
