Six years ago, Ann graduated(毕业) from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the computer program PowerPoint. “I enjoy the college, but my job doesn’t use the information I learned at college.“ Ann says. ”The course is helping me to do my job better.”

In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, thirties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet.
