I think I may take course to become a certified welder. Also, the cement company down the road a ways is hiring drivers. I've always wanted to drive a cement truck, maybe I'll apply. Not that either of those will be a career shift, they just seem like useful life skills to have.

One should never turn down an opportunity to learn something new to do with his or her hands.

Also, getting a CDL is a plus. Do it.

[...] sociology- Marriage, family and intimate relations.
Good course choice (I may or may not have a BaH and MA in sociology ;)).

For me, it's a few courses on how to teach certain subjects (language, math and science & technology), professional inquiry in practice, curriculum design & evaluation in education and education for exceptional students. That's just the fall - winter is a whole new set of courses.

Trust me it is so much fun in college, just relax and always do your work, listen to the lectures. Even after your very first semester you would have learned so much.

You should also take time to drink, party and get laid as often as possible (yes I said it). Now, don't do so much of it that you drop your first year due to irresponsibility (like some I know), but do have fun.

That's the fun I was thinking of. Classes can be fun but 90% of the fun in school is what happens outside of the class. Just be responsible like baggss said.

I'm not taking any classes, I already finished a four-year degree in Printing and Web Technology. I would like to keep learning though. Thinking about trying to learn how to develop applications for OS X. That or I would like to try some more video digitizing and editing. I have had classes on video and multimedia, just didn't major in it.
