>Easier? At 35, divorced with children? At 55 when you just got laid off? Your suggestion as merit for SOME lives, would make others infinitely more difficult (welcome to the real world :-)) What WOULD be nice would be more options instead of the present college then work that most people live through.

I meant easier in that it would be easier to get a new degree under my system than under the present system. Not that it's easier to go to college when you're older.
Maybe I'm looking at this through to narrow of a perspective. Do people in general actually remember enough from electives to actually be of help in a second career? For me, the only non-CS class that would be any use for me today is Spanish. And that's because I liked the class and really tried to learn it. Even then, I only remember a little. And I've just graduated. I can't imagine at 35 some elective from college would help me get a job. Maybe it's different for other people.
