Hi Robert, thanks for synthesizing (is that the right word?) many of my own thoughts on this matter. I would have replied earlier, but I was busy with... Statistics! As you well know - I believe I may be one of the "peers" you refer to above - I made this leap at the start of 23, also with SUNY Empire. I jumped in headfirst with four courses, which was at least one too many. I am taking three this semester and the only way I can avoid feeling overloaded is because two of them are continuations of previous courses (in Cultural Anthropology and Spanish) and the other is one that is, finally, teaching me how to use Excel, and giving me credits for doing so. That's the aforementioned Statistics, which I love, because data is important in our lives. Many of our interests here overlap - woondering wtf we are going to do with the rest of our lives given that we can't afford to retire - and figuring to get accreditation in those subjects that already interest us. For me, the study of humans, and the wonders of travel intersect in a current course entitled Travel & Tourism: A Critical Perspective, in which we had to share a travel article (and of course write about it academically) from teh last two years from selected major newspaper. You may be interested to know I chose this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/25/travel/psychedelic-retreat-ayahuasca.html
Good luck with your new studies, Robert. I’ve had similar thoughts of pivoting to something else, learning new skills. I think you’d be a great shrink.

WHAT TEST???" analyze THAT! ha ha. i wish all the best with this new/old career, and the schooling. the cohen performance? stunning! juggling all of this, hope you can keep writing! i enjoys it. xxxcm

Hallelujah. In a church. All the people singing. You did that. Lots more to do, with all my best wishes.
Great talk and best of “luck” in this new adventure of yours. ❤️🐧

YouTube then (coincidentally?) popped up with this, on the same subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a546lxxJIhE
ENjoy your studies, I had better get back to mine...
