So, Raz is thinking about going back to School

[Admiral Yi]

I think it's premature to talk about a degree, even an associates.  Raz just wants to dip his toe back into the water.  Take a light load, one course, nothing too pointy headed, see how it goes.

I don't get it.

Raz, what was your area of study before?  How many college credits do you already have, and from which school(s)?

This is what I'm thinking.  See, Yi understands me.  More then anything I want this as a method of getting better mentally.  I'm thinking of taking one course this summer and after that see about a full semester.

School is just a means to get a job.  Therefore, before you go to school, figure out what kind of job you have in mind.  Then work toward getting the job.  Which may or may not include going back to school.

Then definitely take a class you'd think you'll enjoy. Like history.
Can't say much else than go for it, and good luck!

My advice still stands though: Community/Junior College.  Are you able to work?  Or is this just about personal enrichment?

Yeah, I agree with Norgy--if it's just one summer class, history is a good choice.  It's interesting in its own right (assuming a decent instructor), and if you do decide to go for a degree later, it can count as an elective with almost any major.

I conditionally agree with Mono.

If you can afford the expense of college and want to go to for fun or to improve your mental state, I'd consider all the other things you could do with that money. If college still seems like the most fun/best option, then go for it. I can't imagine it is though.

There is hope for you Raz, I mean if Ide can complete law school.

I was thinking a creative writing or a literature class.  American novel, something like that.
