In Reply to: Anyone here taking college classes? posted by Ultradog MN on July 10, 2017 at 17:38:07:

Some interesting replies here. Thanks to all.
A few more thoughts:
The main reason I would do this is just for something different to do. And I wouldn't have to take a lot of classes to get a degree - just to have it. I never even graduated high school. Flunked out. So I'm behind most of you in that regard.
Some folks say that getting a college education is a waste of time and money.
And you may be right.
The higher ed I did get never made me one thin dime. Not one.
But you know, it did not make me a WORSE carpenter, citizen, neighbor or voter or tractor fixer either. So what is the harm in getting an education?
Another point that people brought up was who is paying to subsidize my cheap credits?
Well, the tax payers of course.
If you don't like it maybe you should bring that up with your legislatures or boards of regents. Or... take some free/cheap classes yourself.
Lastly, I've been paying taxes all these years too. And have paid my share of farm credits, or flood plain insurance or subsidies for running power far out in the country where providing electricity is a money losing proposition and a host of other subsidies that people take for granted. And if you are one of those few who get no subsidies whatsoever, how about your children?
My wife and I neither of us have any children. And yet, we've both been paying taxes all these years to educate yours.
I had kinda hoped to hear some of you were doing this. It would be fun to hear some of your plans and goals. Maybe some of you will. It would sure be more interesting to discuss a class you're taking than talk about another night in front of the tv.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
