Higher Education for free? Life on a Shoestring

Do you want an education, but don't care about the piece of paper called a Diploma?   It is true that college graduates on the whole earn more money than high school graduates,  It is very expensive to go to university right now in the United States. Living here in Israel, I'm not so apprehensive, but for me, as much as I'd like a Master's Degree, or an MBA, I can't take the time out to go to university and put my life and kids on hold for the two or three years that it would take. Pick a program and treat it like a real class. log on or go on line at the same time every day, check your progress, do homework if the class requires,  Then you give yourself the education you deserve!


I'm learning a few things right now.  One subject is French.   http://alison.com/courses/Basic-French-Language-For-Everyday-Life  This couse is a video course that has the text in French on the page as well as English.  I find that it helps me to read both languages and hear the French.  I'm not finished yet, but slowly getting there.   You need to register, using either your Google, Yahoo or Facebook, if you want the diploma for each of your courses, you have to pay for them, but it is not necessary.   

The Open University offers extracts from their courses,  This is an introductory course about management,   
The advantage about these courses is that you don't have to register, just click on the course you want and start to read.   It is useful to take notes while taking this course, it will help you remember what you learned.  Then try to apply the principles in your everyday life.
