I would just like to point out at this stage that I am not that old, but I do remember when I was at school there was one PC in the library with an Internet connection in the entire building and to be shared between 7000 students – if you wanted to use it you had to book it well in advance, and when I say well in advance I mean months and months. I never once used it as although I fancied it, it wasn’t worth the hassle.
I didn’t get online for the first time until I got a dreamcast when I was 19 years old – so when I see 10 year old kids creating websites and uploading videos to Youtube and the like these days it somewhat boggles my mind.
Computers and Internet connections are so common in schools now that they are an essential part of modern day education – with homework and class schedules and the like being sent by email.
You can even study online for full degrees and the like these days, a friend of mine is currently doing his Loan Officer Training from the comfort of his own home – he was boasting the other day about doing it in his PJs haha
It makes sense for him to expand his financial education in his spare time and gain extra training and qualifications as it can only help him in his career and give him an advantage over others, he works in a very competitive field that is always changing and expanding and while others are busy spending their free time watching TV he’s bettering himself.
He’s doing his course via TrainingPro who pioneered the National Cross Certification Program, saving their students time and money and offering a new level of freedom when it comes to choosing when best suits you to attend ‘classes’, they are the national leader in mortgage education and it’s clear to see why.
