What’s the Point? (of College)
Welcome to The Psychologists Podcast, where we talk about all things psychology through a very personal lens.
Dave Englund, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS and his wife, Joanne Englund, CPA reflect on Dave’s Benjamin Button-like journey back to college as a 65-year-old. What factors impact our biggest life decisions? Is it ever too late to finish unfinished business? And is doing extra credit genetic?
Honorable Mentions:
-“You don’t know what you don’t know”
-Is it really true that ANYONE can (or should) go to college?
-Matching law
-Paper? ceilings
-Shame and motivation
-MAI designation in real estate appraisal (it’s a big deal) https://www.appraisalinstitute.org › our-designations
-“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”
-Don’t go to college till you’re ready
-How your reason for going to school impacts your approach in the classroom
-1974 vs. 2021 college pressures
-Curiosity pulls, pressure pushes
Memorable Moments:
“I was taking a history course when Confederate statues were finally being taken down; I was in government class during an impeachment trial” (Dave)
“You have to answer the right question…not, Do you feel like going to college and studying for 4 years and taking tests? That’s not the question. The question is, Where do you wanna be?” (Joanne)
