| Do you think there are benefits to going to school, but not attempting a degree? Do you think college is beneficial to those not obtaining a degree? | |

| Here’s why walking is such an anti-aging elixir. During your 20s, it seems that you can eat what you please and be as Mount Rushmore with nary an ill effect. Once you hit your 30s, though, the use-it-or lose-it rule becomes urgent. If you continue your 20-something merrymaking, you turn into a blob. Keep at it until 40 or 50, and you’ll be a grumpy blob at high risk for a smorgasbord of nasty diseases. Luckily, there’s a way to stay in shape after 30: walking. “It’s practical, and you can fit it into your everyday routine,” says Mark A. Pereira, epidemiology researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health. Although walking is beneficial at any age, it’s particularly sensible for women in their 30s, 40s and 50s. One reason: it’s easy to start—and stick to—a walking program. Moreover, it’s easy on the joints. “The impact is reduced by at least a third compared to running,” says David K. Brennan, assistant clinical professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Baylor College of Medicine. Walking also protects women from nearly all the chronic diseases that can come along during those years—and beyond.

| How old is too old to go back to school? Whether it be to further your education in the profession you are in or to learn another. | |

| Do you think 50 is to old to take courses. I am starting a computerized accounting certificate course next week. I am 52 and work full time. This course is two evenings a week and all day saturday. When I told my boss I would be taking this course, she told me I was too old. I don't think your ever to old to lean more stuff. I already work in accounting, and this course would be of benifit to my company as well am my self. Do you think my boss is just jealous, she is 59. I am taking it any way, just wonder what every one thinks. | |

| I was trying to get a "jump" on a peer review paper that I have to provide constructive critisim and offer advice regarding the Research paper that is due next week Sunday the 14th and is worth 25% of our total class grade. This is my second quaterly class rotation and so I am still a little new to this whole continuing education dynamic. Thus I am rather shaky confidence wise and intimidated as well as invigorated and innervated by the grades that I have recieved in my first 4 classes thus far toward my Associates degree for an IT course of study.The reason that I lack confidence in myself and my educational abilities despite having a solid B average (3.17 GPA and climbing in fact) is that this is my bid to join the mainstream, becoming an college educated and sought after member of the workforce is a horserace that I have already won the double dumbass award for and depending on how you look at it the "Triple Crown Dipshits Cup is mine to win" or Spin again for a shot at a better brighter future in every face.See I dropped out of high school and the jumpstart college classes for high school credit program when I was 14 years old to get married and give birth to my eldest... | |

| I always discuss topics from life experiences, because I have been effected in one way or another.
I was raised by foster parents due to a personal choice that I felt my parents could no longer be responsible parents. I was 14, so it was my choice.
However, I am also increasingly aware of family members that I have that do not intend to provide their children with continuing education, due to the fact that they cannot afford it, or lack a formal education themselves.
I chose not to have children because of these concerns, because I feel being responsible, included a great deal of consideration for the next generation which I even currently could not provide.
So, how are parents dealing with this issue? I am curious. It is notto late for me not to have children, but this is something I have never been able to get a grasp on.
any experiences out there? | |

| I was reading the Feb 15th copy of The Wall Street Journal about continuing ones education. I goes into great detail about all the online classes that are now available for free from many universities. I was amazed at the list of Universities that are doing this. The article is titled “Top Universities Put Instruction on the Web”Colleges that offer free online classes include Stanford University. Last fall, This University posted the complete lectures for three courses, The literature of Crisis, the Historical Jesus and Modern Theoretical Physics. Stanford plans on making complete lectures for a dozen classes available on the I tunes U site by the end of 2007.I know BYU offers many free online classes. I have taken many of them in the past. I love the fact that I can do things at my own rate and any time I want to. http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/courses/freecourses.cfm
These classes include
Family History/Genealogy - Introductory
Finding Your Ancestors
Providing Temple Ordinances for Your Ancestors
Introduction to Family History Research
Helping Children Love Your Family HistoryFamily History/Genealogy - Record Type

| Has anyone done an online master degree program for teachers? Which one was it and what was it for? Would you recommend it? What was the cost? I am already a certified teacher, I was just thinking about getting a masters degree so that I can get a raise in my salary as well as meet the recertification standards. Honestly, it's not as though I want to become an administrator or really do anything other than my current position. Do you have any advice? | |
