Well, I am starting in the fall on a B.Ed degree, it doesn't lead to a teaching position right now, though. Still, with my Social Work degree, it may open up new doors. I am scared mainly of one thing...that I am 35, and I know it isn't *much* of an old age for school, but still I feel daunted. The university I am going to is an *excellent* school, as it is small and it has mostly 2 hours of lecture, then one hour of what is called a 'seminar' which is very small....about 10-12 students. I've myself led a few seminars as a Teaching Assistant. Plus, usually about 20 percent of your grade comes from these seminars, which are discussions of an assigned reading week to week. That is so comfortable, as I am not a great test/exam taker. I think my meds fog up some of my memory. But I always do *excellent* on term papers. So....I guess I am happy with it all. The other cool thing is the program is Co-Op, which is a paid placement. I just hate having to wait until September, but I want to enjoy my summer...I don't want it all to waste away. Any other 'adult learners' here?
