Questions: Education & Career

Or do you want to stay working any way.

I have applied to a Christian college nearby and they're very much strict compared to even some high schools. I applied because I want to continue my educational experience and I want to try something new.

I got expelled from my last college (a public one) because of my mischief toward a professor, but I have overcome my mistakes and attitude and I want to make new friends. I am also not a fan of the professors from my last college.

When I was a child, day care centers were very uncommon. There were far more stay-at-home moms and there was more extended family available to care for children if mom and dad were both employed. I was enrolled in a kindergarten program at age 5 (which was also uncommon in the 1950's) and it was a wonderful place which gave me a great head start on formal education. (The owner of the kindergarten was a retired first grade teacher who was retired but still teaching!) I was only there for 4-5 hours per day and the remainder of the day was spent with my grandmother until my mom got home from her job. I have no regrets about being in kindergarten.

Now, I am president of my church and we have a day care for children 6 weeks to 5 years old. I think it's a great facility and the children there are given great care because we monitor our teachers very closely and we never exceed the recommended student/teacher ratios.

But every day care isn't great and some parents have nightmare experiences with their children being in day care. Were YOU in day care? If so, do you regret that you couldn't stay at home with mom or extended family?

I hated my high school experience but how about you guys and girls are you enjoying high school and wish you could stay?

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many companies to shut down their offices and have their employees work remotely from home. More recently, some companies are re-opening their offices on at least a part-time basis.

Recent studies in New York City indicate that just 8% of office workers are back in the office full-time (i. e.-5 days a week), while 28% are working fully remotely.

Where are you working?
