3.What Should I Study Now?
It’s hard to decide what you want to study, but many people choose healthcare degrees. We take a look at various options:
Online Courses
Online degrees can be earned from home, which means you don’t have to go to a campus. Since many have closed, this might be the best choice. Plus, it can save money and time and still allow you to work and take care of your family.
Nursing Degree
Nursing degrees are popular currently because there is a shortage of nurses. You may find fast-track options that allow you to get into the workforce sooner. That way, you put your skills to good use and help others during the crisis.
Healthcare Degrees
You can find various healthcare degrees, such as administration, management, billing and coding, transcription, etc. These are indirectly related to the industry and are still needed in the pandemic.
Homeland Security Degree
Most people don’t think about homeland security as a career path, but it’s essential right now. With it, you can offer emergency management services (FEMA), become an EMS, firefighter, or first responder. You may also consider working in cybersecurity as an IT expert. Prevent hackers from gaining access to data or networks.
Accredited Degrees
Make sure that the degree you choose is accredited. Sometimes, you need this to become licensed (such as a nurse). The school must also be accredited to offer federal grants, loans, and scholarships.
Trade Schools
Trade schools are often a great choice, especially during the crisis. Courses are usually short and completed on your time. You also get assistance with job placement and learn a trade that can benefit you for many years to come.
Associate Degrees
Associate degrees are often overlooked for a bachelor’s degree, but they can help you learn the appropriate skills to advance or change careers.
