Oh wait, not you. You’re old.
The local technical college has been conducting demonstrations at local libraries introducing the public to their various career programs. I decided to go to one to see what they might have to offer and ask questions about certification requirements. They took one look at me and politely said that they can only help “student aged” people, not a “continuing education” someone such as myself.
Sigh.
Have I told you lately that you’re old? That’s right, I don’t have to. Someone else did.

That’s ridiculous! If you want to start a new career you can do it. But what they SHOULD be doing is putting up an exhibit of your work at the library. Harrumph.
I really appreciate your enthusiasm! 😂
Now that you mention it, that particular library is in ESAL territory which is an art league of which I am not a member. I wonder if they would break my colored pencils if I dared to hang a picture there?
Art gangs?!!!!
Yup! 😂😂
HEY ARE LOSING VAST AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THAT DUMB ATTITUDE !!
Maybe they will add adult education classes now that they are more aware of demand.
Surely that can’t be legal in this day and age? (I can’t click on the WordPress icon–Marty)
I was surprised because I thought everyone had adult education. Oddly enough, if I want to get a forklift operators’ certificate, I have to go to them to get it! 😂
I think it’s illegal!
I’m afraid that if I pushed to be admitted the school would make sure my experience would be especially awful.
I find this so so SO ridiculous! And I don’t understand it! Grrr 😦 😬
In theses day and times when jobs and careers can be so uncertain anyone of any age should be able to take classes, get training, learn new things, etc.
Do they know nothing of how important life experience, existing skills, intelligence, talents, and prior work experience is?!
Eons ago, I heard a lady (a futurist who studied trends and made predictions) say that by this time in history very few people would work the same job from high school graduation to retirement, like our grandfathers did. She said people today would not only have numerous different jobs, they’d have numerous different careers during their life time. So they would have to get further education, retraining, etc.
(((HUGS))) ❤️
PS…Hey, Toby, your Mom and I are not old we are well-seasoned, classic, 25 plus shipping and handling! 😉 😀
I knew someone who used to count age as “twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty ten, twenty eleven” etc. So really, we’re still in our twenties! 😂
Miserable worms! Is i t that the funding is limited to young people?
Maybe the chances of an older person being hired are so small that the school don’t want to waste time educating them? 🤷♀️
Ageism!
Well f them
Not being able to go to school saved me a lot of money!
What???? My college LOVES adult students! This is a crock!
I’m choosing to look at it as Divine Guidance. Hopefully I’ll do better somewhere else.
