Most people think of cruising the world, taking salsa classes, and enjoying a generally relaxed life, when they think about their golden years. I however, intend to ride off into my sunset years, with a college degree in hand.

At the age of 69, I must admit that I have had a fairly successful life. Financial problems prevented me from going to college in my youth, and I began working soon after high school. It’s all worked out great for me, and I ran my own successful business for many years before selling it off for a tidy profit last year. With enough funds in my retirement account, I can safely say that I have no worries about the future. But the one thing that I regret not having done in my life is getting a college education. With all my days free now, it seems like that time has finally come.

The town that we have decided to spend our retired life in, has no access to good colleges. My best option therefore would be to join one of the many online colleges that offer students like me a chance to earn their college degrees. I’ve looked up a few of them, and I have already decided on an online business degree. My wife is as excited as I am, and has plans to obtain a teaching degree.

They say you are never too old to learn, and I must say, that’s very true in my case!
