Tue Dec 22, 2009, 2:03 AM | | Posted in Careers Advance
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of resources for online education. Whether you want to go for a formal degree or certificate or take a few courses to enhance your career and advance in your profession or just start in a new field, you have a friend in various online resources.
I was looking for jobs in finance and other such disciplines to have links posted in the sidebar under the title “JOBS” on this blog, when I found one resource for Online Schools @WallStJobs.com. It seems to be legitimate resource site. First I thought it was an offspring of the Wall Street Journal online, but reading their description on “About Us” page, nowhere did I see any such claim being made on that page.
It has a list of schools that offer certificates on a variety of subjects. Plus lists of educational institutions offering complete Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees.
It also has a list of Campus Schools. While you are at it, read about what Campus School is and other topics of interest as well.
