Yes, I've gone back to TAFE, and am doing an evening course in repairing small engines (mowers, wippa-snippas, chain-
saws etc). Third lesson tonight, have just arrived home.
5.30 - 9 pm two nights a week for six months. And I get the qualifications at the end of it.
It's something I can already do (didn't have the 'ticket' tho), but the course was available and they needed to make up the
numbers, so I enrolled.
IMO, you are never too old to learn, and never too old to go back to school, TAFE, Uni if you wish to do so. And you can
never have too many skills/qualifications, especially now with jobs being so scarce.
Anyone else doing, thinking of doing, or recently done an evening course?

Good on you.
The young fella, as well as running a three state operation in light engineering, has spent nearly all his working life (20+ yrs) studying.
Says that the different courses, etc, keep him from going stale.
Even took 3 years off, just before I handed over, to qualify as a chef.
Has till end of this semester to complete what he is doing and says he will have a break from study until the new year before starting another course.
