With every New Year, we're given a clean slate upon which to draw a brand new
future. Along with New Year's resolutions to exercise your body, perhaps it's time to
consider exercising your mind as well.
Now is the perfect time to continue your education. Of course the big question is, how
do you fit one more thing into your already insanely busy schedule?
If you've ever hesitated to pursue further education because you couldn't handle the
rigors of a traditional campus program, it may be time to consider the relatively new,
but rapidly growing area of online education.
Whether you're a housewife ready to take on a new career, a mid-level boomer ready
for another challenge, or just a person who loves to learn, online education can give
you the boost you need.
Online education, also known as distance learning, is rapidly gaining popularity as a
convenient, efficient and often lower-cost way to improve your mind, your life and
your career opportunities.
According to "Making the Grade: Online Education in the United States in 2006", a
report that has been tracking the annual changes in the online educational system in the
United States for several years, more than 800,000 students signed up for some form of
online education in 2006.
In addition to the new 800,000 students, "Making the Grade" reports that more than 3.2
million people are turning to online education as a way to fill in their educational gaps
