Default Back to school

I'm going back to school!

After 16 years of not having seen a classroom from the inside I'm going to start following classes at the end of this month on Logistics Management.

Anyone else who went back to school after such a long time? Tell us about your experiences.

Whatever you say cloggie.

And I don't have personal experience but my best friend moved here, and went to school at nights, graduated a few weeks ago. She had her kids really young and didn't have a chance to go to college then. It was tough as she was working a job as well as going to school, but she made it

I think you'll make it too. Just make sure to wear your jeans around your ankles, and say yo! a lot.

Well depending on what I have already taken that they will accept, I'm looking at teaching-would prefer high school, but we'll see. Only problem is I just found out the county I live in is the only one around that requires you to have a BS in Education rather than a BA with a teaching certificate. So could mean more courses then what I planned on.


Being a "loggie" should open up some opportunities for you Toon, seriously.
Veel geluk.
