I wish I were still in school full time.
The price of higher education is insane.
Even ignoring the financial aspects, I just don't think I have the ability now. It really does become harder to learn things when you get older. I look back now and am amazed at how crazy smart I was.
What's sad is when you look up an old acquaintance on FB and see that they have old pics. The pictures are clearly pretty old -- you can tell by looking at them. And yet, when you look at the photo, you not only remember the people, but you remember them exactly as they were at that time -- nearly 30 years ago. People you grew up with and in some cases, people you loved -- all in these old, old photos. It really makes you feel old.
How much were you paying for full time school when you were there?
That's a good question. I believe that right now, the state schools are charging $300/hr undergrad. Back when I was in school, I want to say that was what grad school was and undergrad was a shade under $100/hr.
My school goes with a flat figure during the semester, but uh, at $5k/semester, and maximum of 20 credit-hours, $250. However, they consider a full-time normal load to be 12, so that would be past $400/hr.
As for summer, undergrad courses go for close to $350/hr.
Man, $100/hr would be so nice. It means I can't just stay in school full time, it's too expensive.
Remember, $100 an hour was in the late 80s/early 90s, so that was quite some time ago.
