“I didn’t get a degree so can’t have a new career.”
That is one of the most frequent excuses I hear from people who think they can’t change jobs, particularly if they’re over 30!
While that excuse may be covering up other fears, we DO think a lack of education means a future of low pay or dead-end options. But knowledge becomes power when it’s APPLIED, not just acquired!
And knowledge is something we can have access to whenever we want.
Whether by online universities or through a self-managed learning plan, more and more people are taking charge of their possibilities through adult education. Self-directed learning is particularly helpful for full-time workers, single parents or those on a budget. And everyone has time to learning something new.
