Best Careers

I’m pretty bummed because I feel like I have stagnated at work. I need to start looking for other opportunities, and I need a leed certification. At least that’s what my coworkers have been saying. They’ve taken their leed test prep and will soon be in the process of receiving their leed accreditation. I’m starting to see them excel, they’re expanding their knowledge and abilities as LEED professionals. I’ve looked into taking some classes because I know I need to start thinking seriously about my career. Having this certification will help me to be a better employee, and better all around person.

It really wasn’t until recently that I found out about LEED, and I was instantly captivated by the fourteen thousand projects currently in the works that all comply with green building standards. As an architect, I need to be aware of these new improvements, and the new design requirements to construct energy efficient designs. I have a feeling that in the next ten or so years, it will be a priority or even a government requirement for buildings to be green. Speaking with my coworkers, I really think that the time is right; we don’t have any big projects in the work.

When I was a kid, my grandfather always told a story of what his father (a lawyer and a self-made man) told him about choosing a career: “I don’t care if you decide to be a shoe-shine boy, but you be the best shoe-shine boy.”

In other words, no matter what you decide to do with your career, just make sure you do it well.

Unfortunately, I think many people forget that what you do isn’t as important as how you do it.  For instance, many highly educated people look down their nose at vocational school and career training, and ignore the very real accomplishments of the people who start careers this way.

For instance, golf colleges may not seem like “real” colleges to some people, but would you think differently if you knew that many students who attend these programs later pursue careers in golf business management?  What if you knew that someone trained in golf instruction can make a good living as a private instructor and the owner of their own business?

It’s not really about what your degree is, what school you went to, or how much you spent on it.  It’s more about how you use your education — and how you perform in your career.

Whatever school you attend, whatever career you pursue, just be the best at whatever you do.

There are dozens of good reasons to go to school online. Everyone has their own private reasons for making the choice to complete their education in this way. But one of the things that you might not be aware of is that one benefit of going to school online is that you might be able to save some money by doing school this way.

Here are just a few of the ways that online schools help you save money:

• The programs are shorter. An online degree from a school like Brown Career College gets you into a job quickly which means you spend less time in school and ultimately less money on your education.
• You don’t have to pay to relocate. Many college students move to a new place and have to pay the costs of relocating. They also have to pay to travel back home during school breaks. Online students don’t have those costs.
• You don’t have to pay to commute. With the cost of gas going up just driving to school can cost a fortune. Not so if school is at your house.

Even the best online colleges have drawbacks and benefits just like any other schools do. Factor in the fact that they may save you money as one of the benefits to consider when determining whether or not the good things outweigh the bad.
