<p>Re #118 – it’s a very valid question. The “dabblers”, for lack of a better word, won’t be taking calculus at CC. Or the hard history courses, etc. And I will note that at my own private LAC many years ago, we had some moms returning to finish degrees, and they were the most dedicated, hardworking students. They weren’t in class daydreaming about what to wear to the party that night.</p>
