the_siobhanI've been thinking about what I want to do about my job.
I'm still pretty happy working for Big Evil Corp, but I've been in this particular role for 3 years and working in this centre for 7 so I think it's time I moved on to something new. I've been keeping a lazy eye on the job boards but I'm not really building any exit ramps right now.
But I was talking to Axe about this yesterday and I'm thinking I should maybe take some courses. I like the idea of doing it online, because the idea of spending however many hours in a class every week on top of my job is the exact opposite of appealing.
It also hasn't escaped my notice that it's highly unlikely that I will ever be able to afford to retire completely. So putting some time in now that will put me in a better position to pick up the occasional contract work later seems like a really good investment.
I'm leaning towards Project Management or something related. What do y'all think? And do any of you have any experience with online colleges you'd be willing to share?
