From time to time, we will publish new articles pertaining to Online and Continuing Education. We hope these pieces will provide additional useful information and tips to you to help improve your understanding of the advantages of pursuing an online degree and how it may affect your lifestyle and career. Starting a new career isn't easy for everyone, but statistics are showing individuals are facing drastic changes in their comfort level in their current positions. New graduates enter the marketplace ready to change careers an average of five to eight times over their lifetimes. Older employees who began a career in a company planning to stay until a gold watch and pension presented themselves are no longer as comfortable as they were a generation ago. If you've toyed with the idea of returning to school to begin a new career, this might be the perfect time. You Hate Your Job With the huge number of careers in growing and changing fields, there is truly no reason to stay in a career that you hate. If you hate your co-workers or boss, finding employment in a new company might solve your problems, but for many, the day-to-day work load is tedious at best. Even changing companies to perform the same sort of work can be better achieved by getting new credentials or refreshing yourself in more current knowledge. You're Bored There are some jobs that, no matter how franticly paced, are boring. How many columns of numbers can you enter? How many phone calls can you return? If you're getting a bit stir-crazy in your current position, look around at the various options available to you through simple certification or training programs. Making a change can take as little as six months and give you a more fulfilling career as well. If you've always wanted to try working in education or healthcare – your timing couldn't be better. There are huge needs in both fields and in many cases, you can find a new, better suited, career after the first few classes. The recent economy has made it clear that some careers are essentially economy-proof while others are a bit more precarious. If you're getting nervous about what your future holds, education can help you in two ways. If you pursue a higher degree or additional certifications that apply to your current career, you'll be making yourself more valuable and more essential to the functioning of the company. However, most likely, you'll realize that new educational credentials open up a larger marketplace of available positions. Jobs might come and go, but education and knowledge are essentially money in the bank. However, if you're nervous about the future of your industry as a whole, begin making a transition to a career that's more stable in today's market. Healthcare, technology, education, and certain forms of skilled labor are booming fields despite layoffs and salary cuts in others. Find a niche in a new career that's exciting and safer looking forward to the future.
