How important is education for adults who return to learning?

Question

Have you returned to learning after a long time, how did it help you?

Answer 1

In 1950, having left school at 15 to go out and earn my living with no qualifications, I started evening classes straight away.  I have attended various academic and recreational classes for most of my life.  It is very important to me to understand the world I live in and the people around me.  I hope it has prevented me from becoming a boring old f**t!

Answer 2

I'm 23 getting ready to go back to school to get my nursing license and I'm soo excited to be able to make a difference in my life as well as my family. we are struggling rite financially so going back to continue my education will most definitely be worth it.

Answer 3
