I am a huge believer in continuing to learn post-graduation. It doesn’t need to be formal, and it doesn’t matter what caliber of degree or certifications you hold, it only matters that you don’t stop where you left off. We live in a time where information is everywhere and we know we can learn anything we want just by Google-ing it. However, we are also extremely lucky to have access to so much information. In the past most people were illiterate and books and other forms of knowledge were written in languages that could not be understood by the common people. Rather than take the wealth of information available to us for granted, we should embrace it fully! Once you are done with formal schooling to whatever level is best for your life, pursue topics that you find interesting at your own pace. Psychology, mechanics, politics, anthropology, astronomy, history. If you have an interest in absolutely anything you can find someone who is dispensing it in a manner that makes the most sense for you. If you are a visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, reading, or any combination of the four learning styles you can tailor your learning to your pace and your preferences. Like any muscle our minds need constant work and puzzles in order to stay plastic (flexible) and help us to problem solve faster and more efficiently.
I have below a list of my personal favorite ways that I continue to learn. Some are completely free, others have costs associated with them, but they are relatively low in cost. By making what I learn what I enjoy learning about in ways that I enjoy and find useful, I have continued to learn a great deal since I graduated with my bachelors degree in May 2018. Everyone loves to learn, it’s just a manner of finding what you like!
That’s my list of favorite my ways of continuing education past traditional schooling. I like taking in information from as many different mediums as I can because people will say or frame things differently and may make a concept suddenly click, or a topic or field suddenly more intriguing. Plus, the more you know the more you can shout the answers when watching Jeopardy. 😉 Do you have a favorite method of learning? Were any of these something you hadn’t thought of or tried before? Let me know in the comments below! This is my last post before Christmas, it’s actually live on Christmas Eve. So, have a wonderful Christmas or holiday this year! Maybe find some time to partake in some learning, and pursue something interesting to you. Much Love, Jess
