If it's possible to take away anything positive from the growing state of unemployment in our country, it's that a record number of people are seizing their free time as an opportunity to become better educated. They are recognizing that the recession is temporary, but their education is permanent. Despite the dismal broader financial landscape, requirements for higher education financial aid have loosened up considerably. Pair that with a near-ubiquitous use of personal computers, the flexibility of online courses and a need to grow future job security and that adds up to a "perfect storm" of reasons to take a serious look at advanced degrees. Moreover, the Census Bureau reports that advanced degrees can quadruple your income. In our Professional Development Teacher's Guide, we offer a broad look at the 21st century option of earning a degree online, along with tips to help you find the best fit for your personal career path.
