In the United States ideas about education are changing. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many grown-ups are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these grown-ups the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. Secretaries, mechanics, drivers and barbers can take classes to improve their own skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job and earn more money. Continuing education classes give some grown-ups the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, nursing, cooking, driving or photography. But only some of the classes are available.
