Moving ahead in life

Many people don’t realize the importance of higher education. A few people that I’ve spoken to feel that their high school diploma is just about all they’re going to need in order to get by in life. With technology on the rise, that diploma isn’t going to mean much for very long – unless you intend to be a life-long cashier at your local supermarket or a professional waitress making less than minimum wage and pushing for tips. The problem with most people these days is the ability to balance school with work. The cool thing is, here comes the technology reference, you can go to school online and work at your own pace towards the degree of your dreams.

I’ve been working towards enrolling just to get my associates degree. There are online schools, however, that will give you your bachelors degree. While that does look better on a resume, you’re really not learning that much more about web design in four years than you would in two. Most books are based on the internet up until 2002 and as we all know, things have changed. Now everyone is working with Web2.0 which I find to be extremely easy considering I’ve always depended heavily on CSS/DIV setups but Web2.0 won’t be available for you to learn in school.

Getting a degree online doesn’t mean that you have to choose an internet based field. You can get anything from an associates to a bachelors degree in any field of interest you please. Accounting, Business, Counseling, Health Care, Human Resources & Training, Human Services, Information Technology, K-12 Education, Nonprofit Management, Project Management, Psychology, Public Safety, Social and Community Services, and so much more. The possibilities are endless.

There’s no age limit, you can be in your 60’s and still earn your degree the same way your 20 year old grandchildren are. So for someone who’s been out of high school for a few years to feel as though they can’t accomplish it, that’s certainly not the case at all. Schools like Capella University can really help you reach your goals, try checking it out for your higher education needs.
