• Re-entering work force after a long break and looking for resources.

  I highly recommend checking out the courses on edx.org, coursera.org and other MOOC providers. They have a price tag for a lot of the courses but you can "audit" them for free. Basically skip the certificate, but see the content. - Source: Reddit / 10 days ago

• Looking for survival instructor advice

  Has he considered applying to work at an outfitters or wilderness survival camp? A good way to learn the ropes, and decide what kind of terrain, level of experience etc he wants to be involved with. There are other things like coursera.org which does have some credits that would transfer over and show he was serious. Does he have any real life experience or skills that could/would make him stand out? - Source: Reddit / 15 days ago

• I want to do better at 31 but I don’t know what to do???

  If you're into technology, maybe check out data science and coding. There are a lot of training resources available online. edx.org and MIT OpenCourseWare are good resources for basic course material. You can teach yourself a lot on your own for free. Local libraries are a great resource also. Many have useful programs beyond just lending books. BLS.gov can be a useful resource to research different jobs. - Source: Reddit / 1 day ago

• Best books to introduce someone to computer science in jail?

  The C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide is a great primer. If he can get access to the internet, he can take a free coding class from Harvard University called CS50 on an educational website called edx.org. - Source: Reddit / 8 days ago

• According to Quantum Mechanics, Is the question of whether an electron is larger than a photon is meaningless as stated and why?

  I wanted to know more about this topic. This is a graded quiz from edx.org which I got right, but I don't know why my answer was right. I do not know if I even should be posting this here as it was a graded assignment. Can someone help me understand this or the reasoning behind this statement, this wasn't actually explained in the lecture. - Source: Reddit / 11 days ago
