Wellness Topics The Value of Continuing Education
Ever think about enrolling in a course at a local college just for the sheer joy of learning something new? There is something to be said for one’s personal pursuit for knowledge, with no other motivation than just to tickle your brain cells and expand your mind. But it often takes some doing to convince some people to enroll in a non-credit course just for the fun of learning.
These days, most people are acutely aware of the benefits of a college education. Careers, life choices, income – all depend on formal preparedness for a competitive national and global workforce. But what happens after formal college learning is done? Is your post-college education limited to television and radio and in newspapers, stimulating conversation with peers, career trade journals, or reading the latest non-fiction masterpiece? Or is there something more?
A local community college may offer courses that can broaden your horizons and expand your personal awareness, such as:
- Digital Photography Basics
- Decorate (Or Dress) For Success
- Pet First Aid
- Learn to Draw Basics
- Become a Human Lie Detector
- Introduction Sign Language
- Activate Your Ability to Become a Healer
- How to Rollerblade
And the list goes on and on. The point is to identify something you’re interested in learning more about and go out and do it! To learn something new, you have to get up off the couch, and who knows, you may meet like-minded people and make new friends! Sounds like a win-win situation all around – for you and your brain!
