Please share your answers in the comments.
1. It's not something I've thought about. Maybe fifteen years.
ReplyDelete2. Forestry, as I wanted to when I was still at school. Alternate sexuality and a more country lifestyle clashed, and chose a life to suit the former.
3. I hated the last couple of years of secondary school.
4. When I was young, I would not have dreamt so, but now I would.
5. Hard one...I think history, geography, economics and social studies can set you up well for the future. Maths beyond arithmetic still seems pointless to me. Logarithms? Yeah, I use that along with calculus, trigonometry, algebra, every day, not. English you will learn of your own want. Science, interesting but not essential.
I was math phobic and avoided much of it.
Delete1: 17
ReplyDelete2: Architecture
3: I liked the learning but hated the bullies; luckily I had a small group of close friends.
4: Spain.
5: Never stop learning.
There was some ugliness in high school.
DeleteMy answers are all the same as yours, except I'd go to art school, not medical school.

Delete1: How many years of school, college, university have you completed? 13 as a pupil, 4 as a mature student and 25 as an educator
ReplyDelete2: If age and money were no issue, what would you study next? Lots of crafts before they get lost forever i.e. hand weaving, tapestry weaving, stone carving

4: If it was in your native language, would you study in a foreign country? Yes I love all aspects of geography.
5: What is the most valuable lesson from your education? Be kind to yourself, everybody is different but equally important
Always measure yourself, against yourself.
Delete1. 20 years
ReplyDelete2. Toss up between either Geography ("Mapmaker, Mapmaker, make me a map..") or fine arts (drawing and printmaking)
3. I don't like regimented academic programs that are focused on churning out the numbers. I need extra time to sit with the material.
4. Hell yes! I think that living in another culture requires disassembling one's own precepts and opening one's mind to adaptation and acceptance of new ways of doing things. Once that barrier has been crossed, I'd hope for the possibility of transfer to one's studies.
5. Always collect as many facts as you can and analyze them so that you can define the problem before working on the solution.

There should be more study abroad options for older adults.
