Athough I myself am not a grown unschooler, I do think of myself as an
unschooler, who unschools with my kids. We had this thread going a while back,
but I've been thinking about it some more. Things I'm interested in and taught
myself that school, college, and grad school was useless for:
gardening (veggies and flowers)
living off-grid
unschooling
scrapbooking/ photography
cutting fire wood
converting/ driving a veggie fuel powered car (dh does this, not me)
playing the piano
finding cool stuff at the library for us to learn from
using the computer & internet
child rearing
working with preschoolers/ high school students (my income, but didn't
actually learn anything useful during school for this)
raising chickens
building a chicken coop, fence, and raised bed gardens
building with Legos
playing cool board games with the kids
I'm sure there must be more, that's what I've come up with for now.

Also, I just found out that our area is planning a children's museum to open
in a year, I have got to get in on this,maybe I would jump off the public
school educator's boat to join in- and maybe, just maybe, my own children would
be welcome there during working hours, can you imagine? I used to love to
see in Mothering Mag photos of kids at work with their parents, in a business,
that was not actually owned by those parents.
