An important concept to remember is that not all education is formal, in-classroom education. Some education can be obtained informally or through self-teaching. Reading a book on leadership and the considering how you can implement the lessons learned from that book can be done without a formal classroom. No professor is needed.

The key is to determine where you would need to go to find the education you need to obtain your dream job in your chosen career field.

Look online at several colleges. Type in your career field into a search engine and see who is offering programs. Take a look through some of those programs and determine where the best place is for you to learn the skills you need to achieve your dream job.

Remember! Not all learning is done in a formal classroom. If your dream job requires leadership skills, consider where you can learn those skills, so you can demonstrate them.

Complete the assignment, post your results to the discussions, and then join in the conversation. Share your information with the other students. Information, such as whether informal or formal training is needed, how long, how much, what level of education, and other such elements will help you and others get focused on where to go to get answers.
