I graduated from college in 2007, and I graduated again in 2010. After completing seven years of college and two degrees, I have very little interest in actually going back to school again. However, I also believe that it is important to be constantly learning.
Branching out and learning is how I ended up starting a technology business: I have always enjoyed tinkering with software, but I thought hardware was too difficult until I set out to build a computer. Now, with the increasing complexity of software, I would much rather tear a laptop or tablet down to replace a part than fix a software issue.
Thanks to the internet, you no longer have to travel, live in a dorm, and take out thousands in student loans in order to take classes at some of our most prestigious universities. Many colleges offer classes online for free. Last year, I took a class on technology from an internationally-known expert who teaches part-time at Harvard.
Very few of these classes offer credit or any type of certificate, but if you are simply looking to expand your horizons and possibly pick up a new skill, then these classes are the perfect option. To browse the available classes, check out the links below:
