| When you can offer a service, skill or product that looks different to what everyone else is offering, you will become more visible, and your chances of securing a job or business deal will increase.
If you want to be successful in life, look for education that allows you to pursue:
- A capacity to attack problems from various tangents (lateral thinking)
- Different subjects to what everyone else is doing
- Different ways of study (eg. online, classroom, problem based, competency based)
Courses that offer you more opportunity to choose (or "design") what you will study are offering you more opportunity to differentiate your training (and ultimately your mix of skills) from everyone else's. |
