Just
because you’re a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom/mum), doesn’t mean you can’t have high goals and
achieve lots. I cannot believe how my life has turned out even though it's a long time since I left the traditional working world.
Thanks to the internet and the new technologies we now have,
there are ways to do a lot of things from home (like blogging!) while still being able to see the children off to school in the morning, attend their school events and spend quality time with them.
While you’re playing with your
kids, you can also work and make money, start your own business and get an
online masters in business administration degree. The latter is actually very
easy to do.
Online Courses and How to Join Them
Online courses and masters programs
are easy to find.
Almost all top universities in the country now have online programs that you
can join. They range from a full master’s degree program to research
partnerships and professional courses. All of these programs can help you
acquire new skills and improve your resume.
Let's focus more on how you can get a master’s
degree online. You may not need an MBA degree as a mum, but being able to get
one from the comfort of your house can do so much more than land you a better
job.
Joining a
program is very easy too. You can sign up for the course online, get familiar
with the platform and start studying almost immediately. You still have to
follow a predetermined academic calendar of the university, but other than that
you’re free to manage your own time.
Interesting Courses to
Join
I’ve
mentioned about getting an MBA degree online. Washington State, for instance, offers a good course on business
administration. You
can choose from a wide variety of majors too. An MBA means you are acquiring
business-related and managerial skills, perfect if you want to start your own
business or you simply love the field.
Another
interesting course to join is the online masters in communications. Whether you
love to talk to people or you have a serious interest in advertising and PR,
this is a fun program to enroll on. Getting a master’s degree in communications
also means you can pursue careers that work well for moms, such as becoming a
realtor (estate agent) or starting your own creative agency.
Some Getting-Started Tips
Don’t wait.
Browse through the available courses and find one that suits you best. While
you take carry on with your daily life as a SAHM, you could also be
studying for a master’s degree and achieving your lifelong dreams.
Getting
started is very easy to do. Here are some tips to help you: Firstly, find a major (in the US) or a course that
you really like. This will make studying and completing the course easy and fun. Don’t worry about business
prospects and focus
more on the process of getting the degree.
