Educational Resources
Even with having good relationships with a lot of people, in many cases, you still need
qualifications. Whether this is a diploma, degree, or certification—these are credentials and they matter!
​
Spend time getting educated, even if that means educating yourself by reading information from credible sources, watching tutorials on YouTube, or completing online courses through platforms like Udemy and Lynda.com. It is important to educate yourself and your family as much as possible. From what’s happening in the news to what you need to start your career get educated!
​
NOTE: Be sure the information you are learning is from a credible source (i.e. do not use Wikipedia for 100% information... however, you can generally trust information posted on government and educational websites).
