Clarify Your Goals and Learning Preferences for Deciding a Degree

[@peaceoftara]

Yes. 👏🏻Prior to enrolling at WGU for Finance (Jan 2024), I finished 8+ certifications via Coursera, HubSpot Academy, Udemy and CourseCareers. There are so many ways to build credentials, skills and understanding *before* enrolling in college. This helps you get to know industries and careers available as well, especially if you're working. I'm looking forward to this advice blowing up!

That's great! It's awesome to hear that others have also made the most of MOOCs and smaller programs. I totally agree with you; they're a great way to explore an industry or subjects you're interested in before committing to a costly academic journey or a new career.
