The cast of Pixar's "Cars"
It’s Friday and ABC Family kicking off a Pixar weekend with Cars and Pixar Shorts.
Beginning at 7:30 PM, ET: From the acclaimed creators of “Toy Story,” “The Incredibles,” and “Finding Nemo” comes a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets a snazzy Porsche named Sally (Bonnie Hunt), the wise-cracking tow truck Mater (Larry The Cable Guy), Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there’s more to life than trophies and fame.

It’s not just high school students anymore. A lot of older people, myself included are having to make the decision of trying to find work in our current field or go back to school and try something different. Cost is a big deal, especially since scholarships are few and far between for older people starting or trying to finish their degree program.
