"Backpacks, Budgets, and Big Dreams: Going Back to School at 40"
In this laugh-out-loud yet totally practical episode of Ebonyology, we’re tackling a subject that’ll make you feel young at heart but might also make your knees crack a little—going back to school in your 40s! Whether you’re chasing that degree, learning a new trade, or just looking for a reason to upgrade your wardrobe with a fresh backpack, we’ve got you covered.
Ebony breaks down all the free and low-cost resources that can help you make the leap without breaking the bank (or your spirit). From the California Employment Development Department (EDD)—the superheroes of job searches—to the hidden gems of CalJOBS and America’s Job Center of California (AJCC), we’ll show you how to cash in on opportunities like a savvy student! Plus, find out how the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) could make you the poster child for second chances.
Who says financial aid is just for the kids? Tune in as we share tips, tricks, and maybe a few stories about struggling with modern slang in class. Grab a notebook—this is one lesson you won’t want to miss! 🎒📚
Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and tell that one friend who’s been saying “it’s never too late” for the past 20 years. It’s time to walk the talk!
