A Commuter's Education
You already know that your daily drive can make you aggravated, exasperated, and even potty-mouthed. But did you know it could make you smarter, too?
A USC study found that drivers who cover an average of 12,000 miles a year will, over the course of three years, spend enough time in their cars to complete two full years of college.
That could make commuting the single most important educational tool we have. Think of it as the U of YC: the University of Your Car.
You can purchase discounted new and used audio books online, and your local library branch has shelves of audio books that you can borrow for free.
Here are a few course offerings to consider:
Required courses.
Get a degree in business.
Stay informed.
Aprende un nuevo idioma.
Enroll in comedy school.
Your commute isn't getting any shorter, but at least now you can get smarter while you're getting where you need to go.
And the next time traffic is stopped dead on the freeway, look on the bright side: you can take notes.
