    I have known several senior women who have gone back to college or started attending college for the first time. Their reasons are varied, but the underlying theme seems to be that their children are grown and out of the house and they are retired so they finally have time to pursue their personal intrests – such as going to college. After retirement, many people long for the challenges and mental stimulation that their careers provided so they go back to school to keep their minds sharp. And since they are not going to school to prepare for a career, they are free to choose majors that really interest them without regard to the marketability of the major. I think that’s a great position to be in.
