There
is no downside to adult education. A class is an excellent
way to meet new people, learn a new skill and exercise your
body or brain. In Portland, we have a wealth of continuing-education
classes from which to choose. Most of them are very reasonably
priced; some courses even offer financial aid. All of the
classes in this Cool School guide are open to the public,
and most have no prerequisites. You can even earn college
credit for some courses by paying an additional fee. The options
range from cooking to dancing, from art to stand-up comedy.
We've also included an "I Hate My Job" category that explores
courses of study that could lead to exciting new careers.
An adult-education class is a perfect opportunity to brush
up on a beloved hobby, pursue a neglected dream, meet other
like-minded individuals, get out of the house for a while
or simply alleviate the pre-winter blues. The key to lifelong
learning is having the courage to seek new adventures for
your body, mind and spirit. |
