Online education, an article from 2008

For this article I was paid 3.32. The first paid article in a while by looking at the chart I have. It is however, a non-exclusive article so I am going to be putting the article under the link.

                                    Online Education - a Good Choice for You?

There are many reasons why, someone may not have completed their education. Sometimes a person may have felt that 12 years of education was a plenty.

Meaning that it was just a high school diploma that was wanted or seen as achievable.
But as the years and job prospects went by, you may have found that a highschool diploma alone would basically regulate you to a lifetime of backbreaking work.

As many employers have decided they need employee's with a little more education. At least a little college. And job promotions are often given to those who have degree's.

The degree can be in basically anything. So more and more people have felt the need to return to school. Not just for the few reasons mentioned above, but because many companies are going out of business.

The business world is changing, gone in most areas of the United States are the days when a good strong back, and a work ethic could help you care for your family. Gone are the days when it was easy to go to the local factory to find a job.

Many factories are in fact closing or moving their processing to other countries if they stay open at all.

So more and more education is becoming something that is seen as needed or needful. Advanced education that it is. The only thing is the cost of living has continued to increase even as wages have gone down or have basically left entirely, due to job losses and unemployment checks running out.

But even as factory jobs are becoming less and less we see jobs increasing in the high tech areas. But in order to get these jobs you have to have training and more education.

So we see more and more people who are going to their local community college in order to obtain the required training needed for these jobs.

We also see that more and more people are buying computers, primarly as a novelty at first, using them for games, but later for communication. Then finding computers as a valuble resource for information. Also finding that the computer is not as hard to use as first thought..

After a while usually not too long someone who is browsing the internet will see an advertisment for a college, with a list of available courses online. And it is then that the thought will cross someone's mind about how convient that it would be to be able to attend school online, Not having to worry with the wear and tear on whatever they are driving, not having to worry with finding a babysitter. Lot's of benefits to be found by going to school online.

Then as someone researches into it they find there is financing available for school online. This only makes it easier to go to school online. And is helpful for someone who may have no child care available as they are now able to go to class online after their child is tucked away in bed for the night. Also for someone who has no transportation there is no need to make arrangements for transportation.

For someone who is shy in public for whatever reason this becomes a way to attend classes without feeling like everyone is looking at them.

Going to school online is a good choice for you if you have children at home requiring child care during the times a local community college may offer classes. Or if you have transportation limitations, if you have a physical problem making it difficult to attend classes, at a brick and mortar school. If you work well on your own, if you are able to read and understand instructions well.

Going to school online has many benifits for many people. But it is not for everyone. If you lack time managment skills, are easily distracted or put things off till the last minute, if you are not able to understand written directions well you may need to attend classes in person. So you can ask questions as the assignment is given. Instead of having to post your question and wait for a response. You can ask your question and get answers as you need them, instead of waiting.

Most community colleges have some of their classes available online, and some schools and Universities have the majority of their classes online.

Below is a couple of links to help you find a school online.
