Non-Traditional Education

[dead_hobbit]

More and more I'm realizing that I most enjoy a "hands-on" education, and the boring normal paperwork/lecture/multiple answer test sort of education really doesn't do anything for me. I can do it, but I find it hard to motivate myself because I really don't see how the majority of it will contribute to my career. (For example, how is a required WW2 class going to help me learn Pharmacy?)

Locally, there is a hairstyling college where almost all of your training is "hands-on", and you can always see how what you are learning will be applied to your career as a whole. I'm wondering if NH has any colleges like that (and not just hairstyling, but of any profession).

Just get a job in whatever it is you want to do and get paid to learn. You may have to do boring work at first but the point is to learn and move up the ladder.

Apprenticeship in any of the trades is like this.

Well, to be honest i'm not quite sure anymore. I'm a fast food shift manager right now - I would've been in an Assistant Manager position by now but I left the job and was in Cali for 2 months. Bad Decision. California = Bad Traffic, Worse Government.

Hopefully, I'll have taken all the classes and be promoted up to an Assistant Manager by the time I head out to NH.
