How Online Education Can Change Your Life in a Positive Way

February 7, 2017 by Joi Leave a Comment

Online Education

The most successful people in the world always keep learning and the internet has made this a much easier task. When you invest in your education and keep increasing your knowledge and develop your skills, the world seems like a different place because many more opportunities will come your way. Below are some of the main ways education can change your life in a positive way.

Online Education Improves Your Career Opportunities

A wide range of high quality, accredited courses are now provided from reputable colleges and universities such as Washington State University. Many of these courses entitle you to apply for senior roles once you graduate, which would have been a lot more difficult to do in the past. For example, when you earn your MBA online, an MBA program like this dramatically increases your earning potential.

You Become More Confident

Online education puts you in control of your life. You can literally enroll in any course, anywhere in the world. Once you complete one of these courses, it will give you the confidence required to advance in your career, change your career, work for yourself or become an expert in a certain topic.

You Increase Your Social Circle

When you study online, there’s a good chance you will meet new people and build relationships with individuals, which would be almost impossible to do in the past. Over time, you could build a huge network of online friends and contacts that could be extremely important in the future.

You Get More Opportunities in Life

Every time you complete an online course, it opens up new opportunities for you. More employers and companies than ever all around the world recognize the value of online qualifications. This means you are in a better position to travel and to create a better lifestyle for yourself and your family.

Online Education is Less Disruptive

Traditionally, when a student started a new course they had to make huge changes in their life. However, with an online course the disruption to your normal routine can be kept to a minimum.

You don’t have to relocate to a location close to your college or university, you don’t have to travel to and from lectures, and you can study at times that suit your lifestyle. This is extremely important if you live a hectic life and have other responsibilities such as a family and a day job.

It’s a Less Stressful Way to Learn

Some students prefer to learn at their own pace. However, this is not always possible when you are in a classroom full of students and your lecturer is explaining things too quickly or too slowly for your liking.

This is not a problem when you enroll in an online course. Instead, you can study in a way that you find comfortable. If you like to study and learn at a slow pace that’s fine, or if you want to graduate quickly, many courses allow you to finish a lot quicker.

The internet gives you a unique opportunity to learn new skills and increase your knowledge. You can benefit in many different ways, including the ways mentioned above.

If your only hurdle for pursuing an online education is a financial hurdle, there are even sources to help you pay for school!

Nursing Shortage Expected to Get Worse in the Next 5 Years

January 11, 2017 by Joi Leave a Comment


Maryville University Online
According to a recent infographic by Maryville University Online Nurse Practitioner Programs, there are expected to be over 20% more nursing positions up for grabs in the next five years.  There were just under 2,725,000 registered nurses in the United States in 2012, however many of them are now coming up to retirement age.  On top of this, because of the amount of people soon to be entering into retirement in the US, more nurses will be needed to ensure everyone is cared for adequately.

Although this is good news for those interested in nursing careers, it is worrying for the country if these positions cannot be filled.  The US really needs to start enticing young people to enter the healthcare industry if the nursing shortage problem is to be successfully solved.

You can find out more about the figures we have discussed in the Nursing By The Numbers infographic below.

This infographic was created by Maryville University.
