Probably should have thought of this earlier, but I've had a talk with my manager and she's cleared me to be out of the office Tuesday afternoon to do a college prep seminar at the community centre. Anyone who is thinking about enrolling, whether you're looking at the community college, Tumbleweed University campus, University of Texas, or something else entirely, if you haven't been to university before this will probably be useful.

Since we've got people who aren't from a world similar to this, I'll start with half an hour on the complete basics. That'll be 1pm-1.30pm, so people who know vaguely how university works can skip that part. From 1.30 we'll go through enrollment, picking a major (or not picking one) and choosing classes, as well as online study and how that works.

So. Tuesday, 1.00 or 1.30pm, community centre.

It depends what you want to do. There are some jobs where you definitely need a college degree, others where it's preferred but you don't need it, and a lot more where it's just a waste of time and money. Of course since we never know if we're coming and going any time soon, you have to weigh up the chances that you won't be here long enough to finish anyway, so I probably wouldn't suggest going if it's something you'd suffer through because you want the degree unless you're really committed to something that absolutely needs it.

There are trade schools as well that are more technical training than purely academic. You're basically studying for a specific career learning practical skills, and how long it takes will depend on what job it's for.

	But better jobs than working at a grocery store. What about if you're a soldier but not looking to affiliate with the Earth military? (Reply to this) (Parent)
