Why You Need to Stop Paying For Online Courses

[Jasmine]

Whatever you learn in traditional classroom will not be enough in your real life. Our traditional education is not enough to make money. Therefore, you need to enhance your skills and knowledge to earn better. Online courses come very handy in order to develop your career, get better jobs, and make a lot of money.

There are a lot of learning platforms where you can find short term courses, medium length courses, as well as certification, diploma, or even degree courses. However, most of the learning platforms offer paid courses, you need to buy individual courses or subscription in order to access courses.

You might learn a lot of thing through these courses, but I do not recommend you to go after paid courses. There are a lot of platforms where you can learn for free. The world wide web has made information 100 percent free. You can go to youtube, there is nothing that cannot be found on youtube when it comes to learn. You can go to free learning site like Alison, which is 100 percent free.

First of all in classroom you cannot learn good due to lazy students that enters late to classroom and disturb serious students concentration and half of time is gone handling their lazyness. Second time free courses don't give certification and what we need for work is not only knowledge but also certifications so I totally disagree with you in case you learn to work and agree if you learn for self entertainement.

In order to earn better, you need to build your knowledge and skills. If you want to build knowledge and skills, you need to learn. Online courses offer a lot of earning opportunities. Even though online learning is still cheaper compared to traditional classroom learning, you will have to spend a lot of money to learn skills. For example, if you want to become a full-stack developer, you might end up spending more than $200 (on Udemy). While this is still cheaper than learning in traditional classes, the money you are spending to learn will be very high if you are based in developing countries in Asia and Africa. Therefore, a better alternative to paid courses is free courses. There are a lot of free course sites like Alison. Khan Academy, EdX, etc. Instead of a broader subject, you should focus on learning small, for instance instead of a complete digital marketing course, try learning Instagram or TikTok marketing.
