53. This is my 3rd try going back to college. I went in 1990/91, then 2000/21, then 2023/4 in Aug ’24 I got an AA from Florida State College of Jacksonville and I’m continuing on towards a Bachelor’s of Arts at University of Central Florida. No idea if I’m finish. I believe in the original purpose of “Liberal Arts” from ancient Greece
“The original purpose of liberal arts, stemming from ancient Greece and Rome, was to equip free citizens with the knowledge and skills necessary for active participation in civic life, including public debate, defending oneself, and serving on juries.”
but I didn’t “walk the talk”. So I’m trying to walk the talk. I think tying “college” to “jobs” was the wrong direction as that misses the point. Job training is for jobs but College is to keep the population from falling into feudalism.
