So I recently read an article about how if you don’t use your brain, you can lose your memory, or critical thinking, etc. If I can find the article again I will link it in the answers.

Anyways, this got me thinking. In two years I will have a set career and will be done with my education. (Unless 10 years from now I decide on a career change). Since I won’t be taking college classes anymore, how will I retain and improve my knowledge?

As cheesy as it sounds, I’ve always admired super intelligent people and aspire to be like them. I remember when I was younger, watching a fictional movie about a love story. The woman was of course beautiful, but what stuck out to me was that she was very intelligent. For some reason that character has always just been stuck in the back of my mind while growing up. I remember thinking as a child, “I want to be like her”.

So how do people learn more without going back for more degrees? Or do they?
