I have reached a point in my life where I am in a need to update my skills and pad my resume with some courses. For the past few weeks I have been looking at some Online Schools to take some distant learning courses. It’s not something I want to do but I started to look at it from a saving money point of view.

Here are some benefits of taking some online courses:

• the cost of the courses themselves are generally less expensive than going to school
• you save money on travel expenses such bus passes and gas money
• books can be cheaper depending on the courses you are taking.
• you can save on food, when I was going to school I spending tons on junk food and eating in the cafeterias or restaurants
• start and stop courses when you want so you don’t have to drop tons of money on taking 4 or 5 courses at a time

Updating your job skills can’t be a bad thing. I blogged about it once before. You can’t take courses to try and get a job in a dead industry. You have to research the field that you are interested in otherwise you could be throwing your money away right from the start.
