Are you going to get a second higher education, but you can not decide on this step? Let's see what's stopping you.
Determined with motivation
For some of us, the idea of a second higher education comes when the "first diploma" does not allow us to find work worthy of pay, others - because of a lack of knowledge for career growth, and still others simply collect "crusts". However, when choosing a new profession, you need to discard emotions, reason rationally and understand why you need to sit down at the desk again. Perhaps our tips will help clarify. Carefully read all the paragraphs and draw conclusions.
1. The first education and work experience is a treasure chest, not a useless ballast that can be dropped by applying for training. It is desirable that the specialty chosen by you has as many points of intersection as possible with what you are currently engaged in.
2. Do not judge the relevance of the profession by its prevalence or prestige. Getting a second higher education is easy. As long as you study, the situation can change dramatically. For example, numerous lawyers, economists and personnel managers are now in a time of crisis in a less favorable position than ten years ago, and are forced to compete hard with their colleagues.
Conclusion: you need to play on the lead, trying to assess the future needs of the labor market.
Z.If you understand what kind of higher education you need, but you think that you need not so much in knowledge as in "crust", you need to pay attention to the type of coveted diploma. This document should not only meet the short-term professional needs, but also be useful in the future. Otherwise, someday you will have to get a third education.
4. Many people spend their whole lives laying off their childhood and youth dreams, considering them the fruit of a naive and romantic imagination. Perhaps, right now, when you are standing at the crossroads of professional roads, it's time to think about them and try to implement them.
5. Do not expect that the presence of a second diploma will positively affect career growth. Surprisingly, many managers look with disbelief at a very skilled worker. The fact that you are a class specialist, will have to prove not in words, but in deeds.
6. The desire to learn can be related to the desire for knowledge. In the opinion of psychologists, we were all born with the desire to learn and to know the world. If you want to learn a new profession simply out of curiosity, then you're still a child. A bad thing or good - it's up to you.
Teaching is torture?
There is an opinion that with age, the assimilation of new information and the development of skills are slowing down. If we talk about the physiological capabilities of the body, it really is. However, the intellect, life experience and high level of motivation fill with a vengeance the weakness of conditioned reflex connections.
1. Some feel embarrassed due to the fact that at this age they have to sit down at the desk again. Someone considers himself a loser, who has to start life from the beginning, someone is annoyed by the need to obey the requirements of teachers who are often younger than students.
In such situations it is necessary to focus on the experience of developed countries, in which retraining and further training is an indispensable condition for career growth.
2. People of mature age have more developed abilities to generalize and classify the information obtained, which greatly improves its assimilation. To reduce the amount of memorized material, schema features, tables, illustrate it with pictures.
3. The style of communication with teachers has a huge impact on the effectiveness of teaching. Unlike young students, which teachers have to make to give up "tails," the adult audience is more conscious and responsible. Therefore, teachers do not spend their time and energy on maintaining motivation for learning, but approach creativity and take into account the individual characteristics of students.
There's enough time for everything.
Free time is a painful issue for a working person. Sometimes it's not just a little, but not at all. Therefore, the working woman has to "scrape through the susekam", scoring precious minutes. At the same time, it is important to distribute one's forces in such a way as to keep working capacity for a long time and to get a second higher education will be easier.
1.If you work in a budget organization, try to take part in one of the state programs of professional development of personnel. In this case, retraining will be free for you, and most of the training will take place during working hours. Consequently, you do not have to spend extra time and money on the road.
2. People living in large cities spend up to 3-4 hours a day in transport. This time can be spent on learning or repeating the material. Learn the market of modern technology and think about which of them you prefer to use: electronic books or dictionaries, a player, etc.
Z. If the work schedule does not allow you to include activities, it is worthwhile to look for educational institutions where the training is conducted on weekends.
4. Do not forget about this form of additional education, such as distance learning. To do this, you will only need access to the Internet and basic computer skills. True, we will have to be vigilant: in the market of distance learning, as in all new dynamically developing industries, there are simultaneously proposals from both the leading universities in the capital and from the "office" of individuals who provide, in fact, only a certificate or certificate of passage of course, and the cost of such "training" is the same as in a conventional university.
5. Unlike men, women have a unique opportunity: they can learn by being on the decree and on leave to care for the child. Despite the fact that caring for the baby requires a lot of effort and time, the schedule for a young mother differs from that of a business woman with greater flexibility. If you are now sitting with the baby, use this time also with the benefit of a career.
