There are too many resources available, a lot of courses, videos, audios, and books. You will be easily trapped into these resources end up feeling super whelmed. Even if you pick up a course or two and go through it, you only gain theoretical knowledge, you do not have the skills to do it.

Consuming information will not make you an expert. Your focus should be on application. It does not really matter what’s in your head until you know how to implement it. So, how do you learn to implement? Well, you learn how to implement by practicing implementation.

Project-based learning is better because you know how to apply things you have learned.

You can build a better career by learning just enough and do the project.

Unfortunately some people are just too lazy about building a good career for themselves and secure their future. most people especially youth are too relax on the little opportunity they have and they believe that this opportunity may last them for a long time and as a result of this they do not really care on how they can improve their life by learning a skill or getting a career of their choice.

Sadly, college education is mostly academic knowledge that does not have use case (I said mostly, I did not mean all education courses are useless). That's why in recent times, companies are no longer considering the academic qualification while hiring, they are looking for skills. Developing skills means project based learning

Building a good career depends on the passion of individuals and ability to have good mentors that will be responsible for putting through. There are some people that have got confused on how to make the right choice of career just because there was no one to guide them through what they want.

You need to have passion, but you also need to understand whether your chosen career is bankable or not. By bankable what I mean is thee chosen career needs to b in demand and also high paying. If you are passionate, you can build career on any niche, but not all niches can make you money

Career building is very important in the life of every individual, for you to live a life that will be beneficial to yourself, family and the society at large. First you need to know that which you are best in and try to find the possible way of building it. People usually ask me about how to build their careers, this is very simple if only you understand what is this thing called career. Career in a nutshell is that thing when doing it you find joy either paid or not paid. Is also that specific thing you find joy doing. Their some simple ways which an individual can practice in other to help him or her build their career.
One of them is discovering that thing your are best at. After knowing that, you should continue practicing it day in day out. By so doing you will bring out the best in you. Another thing is that you should not rigid. Rigid in the sense that, you should try and change your way of doing things as the world is also changing. You should try and be flexible, acquire new knowledge that will help you build your career to the best of it.

This is very true. Learning involves practice and not just gaining theoretical knowledge. Therefore, as you do your best to research through reading books, listening to audios and taking courses, it is also best to practice what you learn. Which involves putting into application the theoretical knowledge you have.

One way you can do this is through applying jobs that deals with whatever skill you have. Getting such jobs will really help you in putting your knowledge into practice. In fact, you learn more when you practice something than just studying it.

Another way to practice is through volunteering. You don't necessarily have to get the job in order to practice what you know. You can just volunteer in that field for the sake of your learning and building experience.

Even if you need to advise people on how to build a better career , you should also add up some of the tips that will help them maintain their passion for what they need for a long time . what I have come to understand is that so many people will eventually lose their interest on what they are not able to achieve , I don't know the reason behind this.

It seems so many people as they struggle to achieve what they need without any tangible result , or any future possibility of achieving what they need , they will eventually give up and maybe look for another way of earning . To me this is not the best , you must still uphold to your trust and believe in yourself that you will achieve whatever you need and nothing should not at any time make lose interest in what you want . This is very important for very person.
