• How can I give myself a well rounded education as a middle aged woman?

  *Great Courses (thegreatcourses.com) is fantastic. Lots of "crash courses" in all kinds of topics--exactly the kind of thing I think you are looking for--delivered by professors and subject matter experts. Many ways to plug into it: can subscribe directly on their website, there is an Amazon Channel for like $3/mo if you have Prime Video. I currently use Audible.com and purchase courses through there that I listen... Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I stop being clueless and become more of an active listener when people are talking?

  I used to have the same problem. After graduating college I realized there was a lot I still didn't know, so I started educating myself. I watched countless courses from thegreatcourses.com on science, religion, philosophy, history, etc among other things. I also listened to a lot of music, paying careful attention to words, mostly in the form of rap music, some of it really fast. That seemed to help me pick out... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Anyone else hate talking online?

  I used to be really terrible with conversations. I spent a lot of time in chatrooms in my college years trying to gain more experience communicating. Then eventually I got these courses from thegreatcourses.com to educate myself on everything I felt like I just didn't know. Basically any time a topic in conversation would come up and I would feel left out, I put a placeholder in my head for that so I could go... Source: about 2 years ago

• Are there are good podcasts, Youtube channels, or audiobooks that give a basic introduction to the world of modern finance?

  I’ve always been a fan of The Great Courses https://thegreatcourses.com You can find lectures ranging from pretty basic to fairly advanced, and they’re almost always broken up into 30 minute segments. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Bought my first laptop for my education after years of being homeless, hope I invested my money right.

  CS is computer science. Also check out edx.com It is hosted by Harvard and if you pay for the course which is very little you get a certificate from them. There is also groupings of courses were you can get a business certificate. Also check out udemy.com. Wait for the specials for $10-15. I have heard that google has certificates that are free but that businesses except. Just try stuff and even look at skills... Source: 10 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 10 months ago

• Tech careers that won’t be taken over by AI?

  Prompting is so new I don't think a degree is offered yet, but Microsoft has some accredited classes (FREE) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ and you can get a certificate on AI and chatGPT from https://udemy.com , I got a few from them :). Source: 10 months ago

• Failed my Salesforce Admin today

  I am studying Salesforce administrator fundamentals at udemy.com. I am taking this course where the instructor provides a checklist of all the topics/subjects you will see in the test. For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: 10 months ago

• Cheap/free language lessons

  If you're prepared to do self-study, take a look at the udemy.com learning site. I paid somewhere in the region of £15 (they retail for around £60-70 in general but always come on sale at some point) for a number of courses (incl. languages). The courses are rated by students and I haven't yet been let down. Source: 10 months ago
