Start Your Summer Wishlist Off With Education

Start Your Summer Wishlist Off With EducationThis doesn’t mean you can’t get a tan, OR take trips across the country this summer, but instead it means adding a new dimension to your summer vacation.

With your kids off of school for the summer, or if you don’t have children your mind may be off the hook for a couple months, it’s time to think about retention. We’re not talking water retention, imagine how you’d look in your bathing suit! Instead I’m talking about knowledge retention. What better way to absorb information than through the summer months. Yes, this may be your relaxation time, but then what happens after the pools are closed (if you live up north)?

If you’re in an office everyday what are you doing to attain new information? Reading current events and studying new trends is great, but how does that contribute to your ambitions in the long run? Consider enrolling in school online, or at least trialing out an online school by attending a few webcasts to get a feel for the format. The great thing about an online school is that it won’t encroach on your sun worshipping time, you can take your laptop with you, and you can do it at your own pace.
