In our current digital era, it has never been easier to get an education. A plethora of options exists for all learning styles, financial situations, and interests. The following will explore a few of the many options available to help you learn the things that interest you at your own pace and within your price range.

Career-Focused Mentorships

More and more people are making their way into digital real estate. Blogs, social media, and free digital books are just the beginning. If you’re looking to learn something hyper-specific, let’s say, how to break into a specific field or how to build a career like a specific person’s career, you might be able to reach out to the very person you admire and ask for advice. You now have access to endless experts and professionals, and if you put your mind to it, you should be able to find a mentor among them. This style of learning works particularly well for people who don’t thrive in traditional, institutional education systems and also provides incredibly practical learning as you can ask for guidance as issues crop up.

Language Learning

Learning new languages was once considered one of the most challenging things a person could do. You’d need to order expensive CD-ROM kits and listen incessantly. Now there are brilliant applications that can get you started learning, and countless platforms designed to pair you up with a native speaker, so you can practice actually speaking the language. Couple this with flipping your YouTube language preferences, and you can completely immerse yourself in learning a new language, which is actually learning a new way of thinking because learning a language literally grows your brain. Pretty cool, right?

Course Programs

Of course, you might be looking for a more traditional educational experience. In that case, you can peruse the endless course and certification programs available from online colleges. There are options available to suit all lifestyles, learning speeds, and budgets.

Inner Learning

Camus famously said, “You will never be able to experience everything. So please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.” The internet is filled with psychologically aware, scientifically-supported guides on internal development. Guided meditations and detailed descriptions of childhood trauma and the impact it likely has on every choice you make, and the steps available for healing, are all readily available the moment you connect to the web. Free programs and questionnaires designed to help you better know yourself and expand internally are easy to find and can have radical impacts on your day-to-day life. This type of learning tends to bleed into all other aspects of your life, meaning it is one of the fastest routes to self-improvement.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg. No matter what it is you want to learn, you will be able to find it on the internet and digest it at the speed that is comfortable to you, in the format you prefer. Videos, podcasts, essays, ebooks, interactive games—the list goes on and on. Nowadays, there’s now no excuse for being uneducated.
