What Does Continuing Education Mean to You?
Thursday August 7, 2008
Continuing education is clearly a broad term. I'm wondering what it means to you. Choose all that apply, and leave a comment if I haven't hit on your personal meaning.

I voted and once again, am in the majority. Thanks for the interesting poll.
My “Other” is…
Demonstrating that we don’t have to be limited by popular beliefs regarding age.
Learning is to people what moving is to sharks… you simply cannot stop doing it and continue living.
I haven’t had much “formal” education in anything since taking some post-grad courses more than 10 years ago… but I’m constantly learning new things.
Randall and Charlie, you are my kind of guys! If I stop learning, I may as well cash it in!
I voted for what I think about continuing education. But, yes continuing education is a broad term and cannot be explained by few options.
I think of it as any formal education beyond high school, after the “usual” college age, regardless of whether it leads to a degree or is related to your career. It could be classes at the local community college, or required classes to maintain your professional license, or art classes given by a professional artist at a local studio.
I think it’s any education, formal, self-taught, or otherwise, past the traditional school/college age.
