what would you do?

Published May. 15, 2008

What would you do?

I was in a “team-building” exercise and the “instructor” asked each of us – “If money was not an object, what would you do with your time?”

Of course most people responded with - travel, or just spend time with my family…

I got the weirdest looks when I answered that of course I would like to travel, but I couldn’t spend all my time doing so (also I have a first-grader, so that really isn’t practical) and that I would go back to school. Now don’t get me wrong, I probably just audit classes (no tests or pressures) but there are lots of things that I would like to learn about…

Ok, I know I may be weird, but it’s not THAT weird, right?

Just wondering what you would do?

Enjoy what i have put money in bank to draw interest and have it when i really do need it.That is what i'am doing now after coming in to an inhertance.

...I would mentor more youths who are in a risk catagory of becoming criminals.

I wouldn't go back to school unless Hooters opened a college. I would travel and see how many pictures I could take. And I would promise to call my wife at least once a week.

I would do nothing.

I so want to go back to school. If money weren't an issue, that's definately what I'd do, when I got back from Aruba!

I would troll around golo and be a general nuisance. Dare to dream.

jabrn - I would do the exact same as you. I love going to school. I'd be a career student if I could. I want to get a History Degree, Math Degree.... There is so much I enjoy just sitting and learning. While I have a problem with many professors, it is fun to engage them - and at the same time - have the potential for me to learn something new (if the professor is worth a flip).

I would buy me a RV and I would hire me a driver and I would hire me someone to cook and I would travel from Nascar race to Nascar race for at least 36 weeks out of the year. You get to see the race and you get to travel to a lot of different states and see a lot of new things.

Definitely NOT weird! I completed my bachelor's degree the year I turned 40, and walked the aisle for my master's last weekend! You are NEVER too old or set in a particular life path to not consider going back to school. That is one bit of advice I freely commit to...if you are 'considering' the option...take just ONE class...something low key, but a part of a curriculum you are interested in. You will have fun, it will challenge you, and you will be on your way! Even if it takes you 8 years, by taking just one class to start with is one less to the finish line.

Travel would be my number #1 choice, but like you said..can't travel al time, plus I also have a son in grade school. I know that I' volunteer more time at his school, and local schools if I could. I do volunteer now, but I feel like it's not enough. I get alot out of spending time with kids, it's rewarding to me.
