On getting a degree online

Ace seemed to be worried that I get bored working from home with the kind of work that is too far from my educational background. Last week he mentioned it again. He was telling me I should continue to hone my skills in HR so I need to find an HR related job. He must have been thinking that my degree is useless if I don’t practice my profession. I actually thought of going back to the industry at one point but the desire suddenly fade that I wanted to stay at home because this is where I belong! If somebody will hire me for a home-based HR job, then I might consider it. Who knows, I might be transferred to HR of DWC after some time. Anyway, that’s just one of Ace’ concern.

Another thing that he wanted me to do is pursue my masters degree. For what? He really thinks that I excel in this field so I must continue learning until I get a post graduate diploma. Good for Ace because he has plans for me when I don’t even care planning for that!LOL. Well, if time and resources would permit, I might get a degree (a second course maybe or pursue my graduate studies) from an online university such as Western Governors Online University. Why Western Governors? Because it is non-profit and affordable than other online universities, and fully accredited of course! If I would go for a second course, maybe an online nursing degree would do if I would have the courage to take health care course (because I am afraid of blood and have phobia of hospitals).

Acquiring degree in cosmetology

While I want to learn skills in Culinary, I’m sure our youngest will love cosmetology. Oh well, if she’ll work her way to a cruise ship, I think she’d better have some cosmetology background so she can work there as her sideline job. After all, salon workers are well-paid for their skills. As early as now she can learn from a Cosmetology School like Regency Beauty School in the US. Their students are trained well that makes them the most sought-after salon workers. Besides, landing a job after graduation isn’t that hard because the school has a placement program with the salons and even cruise ships. Hence the higher possibility of getting a job. Wish Regency Beauty School will open a branch in this part of the globe.

Planning to get a graduate or post graduate degree but schedule is a hindrance? Why not consider Capella University. It’s a leading university online catering to most working adults. It is really a relief for those who wanted career advancement in the workplace but couldn’t just attend regular classroom classes due to work schedule. For me, I would go online instead of attending regular classes because I am too busy with work and my sideline. Now I am recommending online classes of basic photography to a former colleague who is so busy with work. Maybe this one will be effective for her though not as tiring as going to the university to attend classes. Online universities are considered to be the solution for people who wanted to step up the corporate ladder without going to a regular school.

Career change

I’ve been talking about enrolling in a culinary class in one of my blogs this afternoon. It’s one thing that I really want for months now for some reasons such as personal satisfaction, continuous learning, and who knows, it will open a better opportunity for me. I am really decided so I wanted to know how much it will cost me to finish a few classes in culinary arts. Good thing there’s an event at the entertainment center in SM City when we went there late this afternoon and I got a pamphlet from Asian Center for Culinary Arts and it will cost me twice my month’s salary for the tuition fee of the whole short course. It’s actually short – just more than a week of whole day classes. Now I am in doubt if I should pursue that plan or not. I hope I could find another culinary training center that is more affordable than the former.

Should I change career now? Should I consider other things that is interesting and could possibly be something that I could benefit from in terms of monetary gain? Do I have a future in being a certified cosmetologist? If we’re migrating to US, I think the answer is a big YES for I could enrol in one of the cosmetology schools in indiana specifically in Regency Beauty Institute because graduates from such school (of from any of their branches) are the most sought after in beauty salons. Besides, certified beauticians and/or cosmetologists earn big bucks in the US compare here in the Philippines. So that’s something to think about.

Going online

Just a thought that came to mind…what if we are one of the advanced countries and getting a degree does not mean going to the university and attending classroom classes? Would I go for the old school of getting a degree or go for online university? For convenience I think I’d prefer getting an online university degree if tuition fee doesn’t cost that much. But if I want to be socially connected and personal interaction with the teachers and my classmates, then I would attend classes at the university. However, since we are going technologically advanced now and almost everything is going online, then an online university would be a nice choice in getting my masters degree. There’s actually so many online universities offering various graduate and post graduate degrees like Capella University hence we are not limited to just a few courses to choose from. So why not go online? It’s less the hassle attending classroom lectures, less travel expenses and less allowance. Afterall, it may be cheaper than attending a regular university with the same standard of teaching.

Getting a degree online

Hubby’s worried that I would get bored here at home. He knows for one that continuous learning through formal education is one of my wants since then so he suggested I should continue with my master’s degree in one of the universities here. Since I don’t yet have plans of going back to the corporate world, I think pursuing my masters degree would be useless. Rather, I want to learn something in other fields other than Psychology. I want to learn something and earn skills so I would be competitive in the field of IT. And if ever I would finally decide to enroll myself, I would opt for online colleges such Capella University. Capella University is one of the leading online university that offers diverse courses for undergraduate, graduate and post graduate degrees. For more details about Capella University, visit their website at www.capella.edu or call them at 1.888.CAPELLA (227.3552).
