Keep earning while you learn and you could take your career to the next level within a few short weeks. When you earn while you learn, you have the distinct advantage of gaining new skills without having to take any leave. This means that you can stay on top of your busy workday while learning new things.
It is more than possible to earn while you learn these days with the advent of the internet and online courses.
The fact that people change careers so often means that there is a need to keep yourself relevant in today’s modern age. Research by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that today’s average employee has gone through ten different jobs before the age of forty.
Further investigation suggests that within modern society, the youngest people entering the workplace are expected to have been in twelve to fifteen various roles in their lifetime. This evidence proves that you need to continuously upskill yourself so that you can remain ahead of the curve.
