Re: Back to college. Maybe.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know why a previous anon said not to go to community college "because you don't want those on your transcripts". It sounds like basic prejudice against community colleges, which is common but may not be entirely rational. The local community college in town has smaller classes, more flexible class schedules to accommodate people who can't go to school during the day, etc.

Community colleges are very, very used to dealing with returning students like yourself-- people who are going back later in life, and possibly doing so while juggling a job and family. You might consider going in and talking to an academic counselor to discuss some of your concerns, or as someone else mentioned, auditing a class just to get a feel for what it'd be like.

But I think it's probably a good idea to also have a think about what you want to get out of it. What degree would you aim for? Is there a particular field you're interested in? Is there something that might be useful to your current job position or future job positions? Going just because it's something to do seems a little unfocused. I mean, if you have the money and just want to explore, go for it! But otherwise, maybe figure out what goals you have in mind before investing your time and money, and good luck! :)

OP: Back to college. Maybe.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I thought that was a little weird. There won't be 'transcripts', anyway. Comm. college is all I can afford, and all that's realistic, considering my location.

I'd like to go for something like an English or History degree, but that's useless for a job here, and my current 'HS Diploma only' self is only hireable at fast food places or maid-service type jobs. Not what I want to do for the next however many years.

So something like 'Business Technology AAS' degree, which has a hope of getting me a job. And no, I have no money to spare and would be doing this via student loans, which is ANOTHER thing to freak out about.

DA

Realistically english and history aren't viable degrees anywhere. There just aren't many jobs and either field and...well. -shrugs- Otherwise I'd be right there with you, OP.

That anon actually said not to take prep or remedial courses at community college so they aren't on your transcripts, not to not go to community college.

I don't know what Business Technology AAS is, but is it something you could get at a tech/trade school where you live? My brother went to one after a semester at community college because it didn't cost as much and the school did job placement after he got his degree.

Congrats on going back to school and best of luck to you!

Eh, more often than not they don't appear on your transcript anyways, so they don't impact anything other than *maybe* your GPA - and that's a grey area.
