classes are better in that you see people every day.
but it's pretty hard to find classes that have good teachers. and unless you go for public education, they're going to cost money.
it's possible to get courses funded through welfare, but if i'm going to do that, it means committing to a career path.
if i went the public education route, this would mean having classmates that are mostly 20 years younger than me. it would also require me to go back and actually finish high school first.
i have dropped out of 3 attempts to get qualified for college. twice when i was a teenager in high school, and once in my early 30s when i was trying to take a one-year prep course for engineering students which was essentially just an abridged version of high school.
i'm intelligent but i don't have the mental endurance to use my intellect in a school/office environment.
if i took classes, they'd need to be ones that are less heavy on theory and homework and aimed more in a practical direction.
