Suppose someone comes from a time when the idea of women seeking higher education wasn't necessarily a prominent thing and thus that someone had little occasion to consider what one might like to learn if given the opportunity to pursue academic endeavors. How would that someone go about looking into such a pursuit, and what should they study once they do so? What might their options actually be?

	It can be, yes. But it helps to know where your interests lie. Or, perhaps, if you have no idea, you could look into some of the general education classes available. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's sounding like general education might be the way to go. Maybe knowing I don't have to decide just yet might make it a tad less daunting? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could argue that you don't have to decide ever, really. You can be a lifelong learner, if you so chose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's a fair point, and I dare say we likely have a lifelong learner in the shape of my younger sister for certain. For me, this step is more for...self-sustainability? I want the knowledge and wherewithal to be able to make my own path in this world. I want to know that whatever I do, it's because I both chose and earned it. Taking classes seemed a good place to start at the very least.

	That's a very admirable desire for your life. I've felt much the same way throughout mine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
