The biggest obstacle is my age. By the time I'd finish I'd be in my mid 50s; even though universities I have spoken have said that age is not a factor, I've heard differently from friends who teach at the university level. They can get more use out of a younger prof than an old fart like me. I've put my dream of teaching university students on hold - my Ed D will be running a successful online learning company.

You make a good point about learning styles and matching them to the specific group. Obviously a tall order when you think of a field as broad and varied as higher ed administration. Any thoughts on how to "read the needs" of a whole field? I'm not sure where we should start, except to say that I don't think it should be the legislature. <br><br>I appreciate you stopping by.
