If you had the time and money what type of education would you seek ?



I would like to learn the skills of a professional chef. That would be my number one priority. Next I would like to learn how to fly and after that take some professional race car driver lessons.

Hmm interesting I would say History and Archeology......

All types...there is so much out there!! I'd love to take up a trade...get back into the arts...pretty much *anything*.

If I was rich, I'd seriously be a student for life. icon_lol.gif The largest section on my resume is my Education and Training...People wonder if I'm sick of school (I've completed 3 different programs since I finished high school.)

Any particular history or just all of it since the big bang icon_smile.gif

A big bang of all ..... with loads of learning curve!

Damn... sometimes you scare me Varth.

1. Chef
2. Race Car Driver

Most likely some type of science, when you read some of the things they are discovering it just blows your mind.

I really can't say anything different than finishing what I started, even though there are endless possibilities. It'd be neat to study under a chef, but I'm afraid I have entirely too many bad habits and I wouldn't do well. icon_lol.gif

I'd just like to complete the degree I started. Dual major in theatre design and business management, ending with a master's degree in both.

Oh, that's an easy one:

Architectural Drafting: Major - Commercial Art: Minor.

My plan was to become an Architectural Renderist. You know, the guy who builds the models and renders the portraits of how the building's going to look when completed, presentation drawings, etc.

And the back-up plan... Automotive Design (but I'd have to get by on my talent alone, since I still suck at math)

Thanks a ton for ruining my life, Air Force. icon_evil.gif wallbash.gif

Since I'll most likely be finishing my psych degree in a couple of years, that's one down. In an ideal world, I'd be a great chef who drives rally cars and play guitar really well.

Aviation degree, I'd be flying the heavy iron by now. *sigh* hindsight sucks.

I had a chance to go to Medical School back in 1991. Had a group of ER docs offering to write my references and get me hooked up. I was just one year out of college with me BS in Medical Technology.....

Decided not to do it, met my wife shortly there after and the rest is history. I often wonder what would have happened if I were to have gone that route. icon_confused.gif

Doctorates in both business and law, work for a couple years and retire...

I have to say I am with Amanda I would be a life long student given half the chance. Here is what I would do first.

1) Go back to uni for a year to get my Biology degree
2) Do something computer related so I know what you guys are talking about half the time.
3) Veterinary Science so I don't have to pay huge vet bills
4) I would like to learn how to be a plumber so I can re-do our bathroom.
5) MD
6) I'd like to learn to pole dance, it looks loads of fun


There is loads more I would like to do but that list is enough to be getting on with for now.

Hmmm, I would like to learn automotive mechanics. They are very complex these days and have lots of computers in them so it would be fun. Would like to learn how to weld better than I do. Landscaping , Botany would be cool. I would like to be a golf pro. Country music singer. ans finally I really would like to do stand up comedy at the comedy club in Birmingham. I may well try this on amateur night.

So is this something you are not currently skilled in and need some basic education.

You just have to stand straight, with no protrusions, and not be too slippery.

I am soooooo jealous A. I love dancing at the best of times but I have always fancied using the pole. Maybe at some point I will try and find lessons but I reckon I would have to go into the city for them. I'll stick to lap dancing my husband for now. icon_wink.gif

If it was just for enjoyment I would have to agree with our good doctor. Automotive skills welding and bodywork.

I always wanted to restore a car or two but right now I don’t have the time or space.
