I've already got my MBA and am thinking about doing some more higher education. Anything I do would be part time and/or virtual since I've got kids and no intention of sacrificing a paycheck. Anybody have ideas? No timeframe or specific need; I'm just kinda interested in learning some more about something.

Perhaps not higher education, but language learning is a great way to keep yourself occupied and learning.

While the language itself is great, it’s also an opportunity to dive deep into history, culture, or whatever particular aspect of the country/region interests you. Not to mention you can make some great connection with people.

I’m currently learning Chinese and enjoy taking a multi-faceted approach, learning about their economy, cuisine, and modern entertainment. Quite fun, and will keep me engaged for years.

Fabulous suggestion, and I a couldn't agree more. I'd only add that learning an instrument can be very fulfilling.

Check out mindvalley, the great courses, master class.

Master class is more entertainment like, great courses is more academic like with lots of topics, mind valley to me is more in the middle but focused on personal development.


For great courses dont pay full price. There are plenty of "sales" that happen every few weeks. Many are high quality courses from accredited collegd professors.

Just do certifications instead of a degree program

Coursera certs.

Look into the executive graduate courses. You do everything with a cohort that meets 1 weekend per month. These are available for MBAs but I would think for other types of grad programs, also.
