Continued learning

Education these days can be massively expensive. What happens then when you have that degree and venture out into the workforce, but still want to keep on learning? It can be hard to justify spending the money if the classes won't in someway further your career (and as far as I know, modern philosophy rarely does). Yet look at it another way. Since you wouldn't be taking the classes to put a degree on a resume, you don't need to pay big money for a big name in education. Community colleges are amazingly inexpensive (in California, a 3 credit class can range between $60 and $80) and you'll still get a good overview of whatever topic you are interested in. Some community colleges even offer online classes so you can learn at your leisure.
