    Default Free Education

    If you could go back into education completely free and financial worry free, would you do it and if so, what would you choose to do?

    I would love to do a degree in Art & Design and I would love to do a photography course, including new camera.

    How about you?

    I would do a course on intrinsic motivation and interpersonal skills so that I can build upon my exemplary people skills

    I don't actually know what I'd do. There's so much choice... maybe learn a language?

    You already have exemplary people skills. Why would you need more training?

    You are wasted here. You should have been a traffic warden

    I'm useless at languages, but would love to learn German. If it was free and not too intense, I would certainly give it another go.

    I have a friend who can speak Mandarin after spending some time in China and she said that it is far easier to learn a language when you are actually living in the country as you immerse yourself in it. Wish I could afford to travel to France or Germany to learn a language...

    A linguistic course, the scientific study of human languages is something that I'd be very interested in.

    My father always said the road was the best education you would ever get . I spent 10 years on the roads of Ireland and boy was I educated.

    Sometimes if you are not doing a course directly to help at work, and sometimes even if you are, it is helpful to study something you are not particularly good at. Especially as you say, it is not too intense, and you are not under too much pressure.

    I would like to study philosophy. The Open University has good courses but I don't have the time or the money.
