• How can I give myself a well rounded education as a middle aged woman?

  *Great Courses (thegreatcourses.com) is fantastic. Lots of "crash courses" in all kinds of topics--exactly the kind of thing I think you are looking for--delivered by professors and subject matter experts. Many ways to plug into it: can subscribe directly on their website, there is an Amazon Channel for like $3/mo if you have Prime Video.

• How can I stop being clueless and become more of an active listener when people are talking?

  I used to have the same problem. After graduating college I realized there was a lot I still didn't know, so I started educating myself. I watched countless courses from thegreatcourses.com on science, religion, philosophy, history, etc among other things. I also listened to a lot of music, paying careful attention to words, mostly in the form of rap music, some of it really fast. That seemed to help me pick out... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Lost in life. Need to choose a career

  Anyway now go to coursera.org and for $49 a month get the Google IT Support Professional cert. That gives you a discount for the A+ exam. With a sob story Coursera may reduce the monthly fee as well. Anyway you are halfway to an IT degree and can be admitted to WGU. Source: 5 months ago

• Found out my Professor for Fall 2023 Python Course is one of the worst reviewed professors at the school

  In terms of structure, consider following a book like Python for Everybody or Automate the Boring Stuff With Python. One of the hard parts of learning a language like python on your own is knowing what you should learn and the order you should learn it in--resources like these books or online courses you can find on Coursera are great for helping with that.
