Man took 58 years to get his college degree

[Nodaclu]

In *every* way but one, I'm finding it easier to get through classes at age 48 than I did at age 20, largely because I have more life experience (and being able to do this online, where I'm not in a classroom full of people young enough to be my children, helps too).

Whether we realize it or not, we pick up numerous random things as we move through life, and I'm always fascinated by how often a learning concept will appear that seems to click with me almost instantly - because somewhere along they way I picked up a similar concept just by living my life.

The only area where this doesn't seem to apply is math. Ugh. When you haven't taken a math class since 1987, even the simple stuff seems hard. But this is literally the only one like this. Get through math, and it's honestly smooth sailing from there.
