Biggest lesson I learned in college was how to learn. It wasnāt about memorizing everything, just know how to find it. Even when youāre done, you never stop learning

"There's no time limit on attending grad school." To be clear, there's no time limit on beginning grad school, many graduate schools have time limits to graduate or your coursework expires. At my university it's 6 years for a Master's and 7 years for a Ph.D.

I'm approaching 60 and am still studying new things all the time. I just finished a course on Byzantium, which really helps me round out my knowledge of both ancient and medieval European history. But in recent years, I've also studied science, math, literature, music, and art - there's just no way to learn all the interesting things out there in one lifetime, which is GREAT because I'll never run out of fascinating new things to learn ā¤ļø

3 years out of undergrad here, and I just recently started trying to learn SQL for my job. It's certainly a lot harder to motivate myself outside of the structure of college, but still satisfying and rewarding!

I needed this so bad, I just graduated in June and started a job at the same place I interned at. I haven't been able to celebrate because of covid and life feels like a blur without some big crowning achievement to look forward to.
@zoe7day
Thank you. Iām currently feeling lost after 2 years of very intense post-grad studying (in a pandemic), and this reminded me that pausing and reflecting is okay too!
@rocketRobScott
I always run into depression issues when I ārewardā myself with downtime. So, now I just get started on the next task (or song) and avoid that drop-off in momentum. I still take it easy some days, but it doesnāt feel like it - if Iāve already started on the next thing. This is 28 years post graduation, and I wish I figured this out a lot earlier.

This was a great series! Erica is a great host!

I loved college and all the learning experience. But my test taking skills sucked. I could know the material well enough to get a decent grade then lock-up during the tests. I donāt know why I felt so self-conscious about it , even to this day 13 years later

This is the advice I need right now, thanks.

This is why I love my finch app. I can get gold stars for drinking water and other daily tasks. It also gives you the opportunity to reflect on things. It helps me prioritize self care

the thing that is not being said, at this point.... there is this constant need in America to be Credentialed or Certified solely for the purpose of a job. Times have changed, the way we learn has changed and how we consume education is rapidly moving online and is becoming more individualized as opposed to the traditional classroom setting. If we are going to talk about lifelong learning which this video was supposed to be about how about talking about the alternatives to a traditional college education because no one wants to take out massive amounts of student loans to get another degree that will at some point lose its value. For example, I went back to college to get a STEM degree, A masters in computer science because I was told STEM degrees were valuable to gaining employment. I got in, took my first programming course, and flunked the first semester. I then proceeded to call employment companies that hired Software engineers, majority of the software engineers never had a bachelors and no more than 2 years of college when they were hired yet the career centers at these colleges stay telling students they need to go to grad school or get an internship to get a job. there is a disconnect between education and learning, Education is something you obtain and follow to gain prerequisites for a specific major! IT IS NOT A PREREQUISITE FOR LIFE! If you got your first degree, just stop at that, no need to get a Masters or a PHD, focus on what your passionate about not what people expect you should be doing! So many kids get stuck with the wrong advice and wonder why education has become an extension of who they are, when in reality they need to explore who they are before they go to college that's one reason I am a fan of the gap year. You don't start learning for yourself until your out of college and don't have the haviness of college books and tests on you, there's no need to regurgitate, you can take your time. Students should take this into account when deciding to get another degree because nothing is better than learning for yourself.

@alexanderkesterson6338
Will you do an episode covering technocracy and how it was almost implemented in the us?!
@milkesosayida3223
i didnt even know there was a how to colleg course this is a life saver
@jamieism
Universities certainly donāt celebrate lifelong learning. I am trying to go back to school and get a second bachelorās degree, but because I completed one before, I am barred from even applying to most universities. š© I wish Iād known this as a kid getting a degree I wasnāt interested in pursuing. And no, I canāt go to grad school because itās in a science field and my degree was in animation.
