    "At least it says I know how to learn". I love that! I never heard that one before.

    Mornin'! Living vicariously through what you're doing with CC, Josh. My educational pursuits were too purpose-focused and now, I wish I had just been more random in selecting studies. I love your let's-see-where-this-might-lead approach. For what it's worth, I was still clambering on-off machinery and jumping down into excavations in the final months of my 40+ year career. Really dug it. The desk-jockey part of my gig was certainly the more dangerous part of it.

      Thanks friend. I typed out a reply but it disappeared when I clicked the reply button. I know this world has more for me. I don't exactly know what it is but I think this college nonsense has something to do with getting to the next step. I don't mind clambering around on industrial junk... I just don't want to do it in the same capacity forever.

    Eye strain is real in taking online courses. Blue light filter coating on a pair of glasses that has a little bit of magnification helped me. I enjoy your online work here on UA-cam, and you've sourced some great coffee!

      Thanks a bunch. I picked up a pair of blue light glasses a while back. I didn’t like them for some reason. I’ll have to give them another try.

    Excellent. Thank you for the insight. I’m going to present the CC idea to my husband, he’s been wanting to go back to school and I know the “free” aspect will be what sways him.

      Thanks friend. Please keep in mind that while the tuition is free… there are still fees that equal about $75 per 3 credit class (super cheap.)
      I’m pretty new to this but I’m under the impression that tuition is free until whatever government funding runs out. I’d just call and ask, they are pretty nice, easy going people there.
      Best of luck to your husband, and you too.

    Great work, mate, and the best of luck. Loved watching this while having my morning coffee and breakfast. I have also considered going to do some sort of business studies, but at the age that I am at, I always thought maybe not. My dream would be to have a small bike shop. You have just really made me think about it all again. Thank you for the inspiration. I hope this video goes far and wide to inspire others, mates. All the best with the studies 👍 ❤

    • @EriebyCycle

      Thank you so much. Maybe you could take a single class and see if it works for you.

      @EriebyCycle Thought I would pop back and let you know I am now enrolled on a business management course starting at the end of this month. I will learn loads of stuff about running a business as I dream about having my own little bikeshop one day. Thanks for the inspiration, mate 💙

    Good luck in whatever you end up doing. You never know where your plans may lead, but sometimes you just have to follow your gut. A friend of mine decided to return to college at age 55 and it led her to a job shortly after she loves.

      @EriebyCycle sounds good man. I've been pondering the idea of starting my own content creation. Theres a serious lack of the "average joe, upgrading a budget bike and commuting through town" content. I can't seem to find any American people doing it. I might have to give it a try!
      Anyway, Im happy to see things going well for you an the family. Good video an good update!

      Thank you so very much. I don’t know… can I have a business where I do everything all at once? Too many interests floating around in my head.

    I’m so confused. I keep hearing that it’s free, but both college’s sites list rates for credit hours. Can you tell me house it’s free?

    • @EriebyCycle
      @EriebyCycle  5 місяців тому

      The tuition is free. The fees wind up being $75 a class. So it’s not 100% free education… just free tuition - but an awful lot less expensive than the other three colleges in town. A parking pass was about $250 when I went to PSU Behrend 20 years ago.
