How can I continue my education in lockdown?

There are many people worrying about their education while in lockdown. From kindergarten to university, there have been months of disruption. If you’re like me, then this is concerning. You obviously don’t want to get behind on your studies. Doing so is not only bad for your career prospects but for your mental health more generally. You need tasks to be completing each day. You need some kind of target to work towards to give your life a sense of meaning.

The best way to continue your education is by using online courses. We’re so lucky that this lockdown came during an age of incredible technology. Remote learning has been around for a while but this situation has just sped up the process with more and more companies offering their services via the internet. You don’t have to look far to find a course that’s right for you.

From creative writing to accounting, there’s a course for everyone. I even took a course recently on massage therapy. That seems like something you need to learn in person but actually, it can be taught via online guides. I read the information, completed this exam, got the certificate, then started massaging my friends. They were all impressed with my technique and I’m now thinking I could actually start charging for this.

There are so many different courses which can provide a sense of fulfilment as well as being something to highlight on your job application forms. You can do short courses which only cost a few dollars or complete entire degrees. You don’t even have to study at an Australian university if that’s where you live. You might be able to study at institutions all around the world.
