Is education only for the young?

[Aphelios]

Learning is for everyone.

Education is easiest for the young time wise,

but the older who wish to be educated in a certain area, can choose to commit more time to it and have a better chance of WANTING it then the young who may want many things and be somewhat unsure.

Eduction is possible for all ages. Each will have their own obstacle they must decide if it is worth facing and overcoming for the knowledge (of certain topics) presented in education.

People keep on learning new things until they die

Nope, I'm 50 and still learning new things, it is life long.

Any who think that learning finishes after school/college/university is in for a rough awakening when they enter the jobs market, as employers are looking for those who are willing to take on new learning and skills, any who think that their degree is all they need will not get past 1st selection.

Edit; typo in the above should read 60 not 50 (I wish!!!)

[NamerOfStars]

Not at all- stop learning, start dying. Heck, staying mentally active is probably the best way we know of to ward off Alzheimer's.

[Rosexøxø]

Well said

[lightbulb27]

no, we should all keep learning and I do. but I don't get degrees so far. I'm wondering if I should go to school since it's required for other jobs, or just enjoy life. tbd

Education can be for any age. You can go to college any time after high school. Maybe not right after, but you still can in your adult life. When you're married and have a family you still could.

[peedy]

No you will learn things for the rest of life nothing wrong with when you learn something

[bigpauly]

No, it is a life long journey.

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope, education is a lifetime pursuit

[whereismyjohnny]

It's not.
