If your 2010 resolution is to add some self value, upgrade your knowledge or skills, or even get yourself an additional certification or degree, then go for it!
If your excuse is that you won’t have time to become a full-time student because you have a job, this can be solved. You can either look for a course that allows you to do it on a part-time basis, or you can even sign up for an online university, such as the Western Governors University (WGU).
For your information, WGU is a non-profit online university that offer more affordable tuition fees than other online universities. It is a fully accredited online education institution, so you don’t have to worry that your qualification not being recognized by employees. Many of WGU students are working full-time or part-time jobs. If you think that you may be too old for education, well, the average age of the WGU student is about 36.
If you are interested in their online mba program, you can always contact their student counselor and get any of your questions answered. At WGU, they emphasize on providing the best support to their students.
The approach of assessment at WGU is rather different from other online universities. They don’t ask you to accumulate credit hours, they are more interested if you have developed competence and are able to translate what you learned into usable knowledge and skills. This means that you are less likely to struggle between work, family, and study, because most of the time you’ll be the one who decides when and where you study.
