Long ago I flunked out of college too, newtus! My family was disappointed and didn't understand, and I felt depressed as hell. I ended up working and going to school part time and getting my degree at a slower pace.

For some reason going to school part time in a continuing education program with people from different walks of life from age 19 to 65 was much awesomer. I found everyone so interesting to talk to and felt more in common with them. The classes weren't as tough as regular college classes, they expected that people were working and/or had families to attend to, I took english/creative writing classes, so basically I ended up doing well (no math).

I had been thinking about going back to school when I wanted to change careers. I don't think I can handle grad school. And I'm not confident enough about what I might want to study.

What did they teach you in the programs that helped, newtus?
