Abstract

For most of us, formal education consists of a predictable series of schools and school-related entities that provide us with a general education about the world which we are expected to live in, contribute to, and derive social and material fulfillment from. However, schools often provide a one-size-fits all experience that does not necessarily fit anyone all that well, nor does it prepare most of us for future success. Real learning about the fields that comprise our employment and our interests is constructed in the world and on the job. This chapter is an account of one learner’s efforts to create and follow a dynamic, emergent educational program for herself as a cheese professional. She seeks out, identifies, and appropriates available resources including venues, programs, mentors, and communities as she educates herself in the production, aging, distribution, sale, and consumption of cheese. Her triumphs and challenges in this endeavor are explored and unpacked. Her story is unique and specific to her, but also resonates with anyone following a less-than-strictly-traditional path as they navigate living and working in their chosen fields.
