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 the past，when students graduated from college and got a job，they usually stopped studying. Today，lifelong learning（终身学习） is becoming more popular. 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.
Ann's sixty-year-old mother and father are taking courses in Art and Music. "We love these two subjects. Learning is so much fun. "They say happily，"It's never too old to learn. "
