Continuing Your Education Does Wonders for Your Career

Continuing Your Education Does Wonders for Your Career

How many times have you heard someone say, "I wish I could return to school and finish my degree". Maybe you have said it yourself. There are many avenues to take to make this wish come true. And, you are never too old to make this happen.

As one who did complete my degree after many years in business, I found the effort rewarding, fun, and it improved my understanding of my coworkers. Yes, my decisions became more informed. My industry understanding, and application of business principals, were enhanced. I now have the ability to tackle many more projects with confidence and awareness of the broad scope of the implications of actions planned and executed.

Now is the time for you to encourage those who have said this to you on your team to pursue their wish. Make the commitment yourself, tell your friends, and your co-workers, to be informed about programs for higher education. It's not just for the young, but it is for all who wish to be young in mind.

Send me a note, if you don't know how to research the many programs available to you or your friends and co-workers. I'll tell you my story of how I made my wish come true.
