Large colleges and universities often provide graduate schools online as a convenient way to achieve higher education. In the United States, graduate degrees are offered at two levels: Master (MA or MS) and doctorate (PhD). The Master degree requires the candidate to have previously completed a Bachelor degree, and the Doctorate degree requires the candidate to have completed a Master’s.

Whether seeking a Master’s or a Doctorate degree from graduate schools online, you will be required to perform research and concentrate your studies on a particular subject of choice. And, while online graduate schools can provide more flexibility than a campus-based college or university, you can expect that some on-site clinical work might be required of you at some point in the course (depending on the specific field of study).

Companies in a wide variety of industries are beginning to move their business practices online, as the Internet has proven to be one of the most convenient vehicles to reach consumers. Consequently, individuals who are able to gain computer skills while they pursue a college degree could have an advantage over other job seekers.

Although social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter were once considered distractions, many campus-based and online colleges are now realizing the importance of these platforms in the business sector. In fact, some schools even offer classroom-based or online courses that focus purely on ways to use these services to enhance a company’s marketing efforts.

Why I Hate Computers

I hate computers. There, I’ve said it, the cat is out of the bag and I feel better for publicly admitting it. I’ve quietly shared this sentiment with many people over the years who look at me puzzled as they know I have been in the computer industry for over 30 years now. Some have even suggested I’m a bit of a masochist staying in a field I do not respect. It’s not that I am not proficient in the use of computers, I am actually better than most. As an aside, you’ll notice I didn’t say “computer literate” which is an expression I detest as it typifies the sloppy thinking permeating this business.
