Schooling Online in 2008
JANUARY is really a fresh start to learn a new endeavor. To those whose lives are flexible enough and would like to work at home, taking courses online can be a very enviable hobby. For example, if are from the Philippines and you know how to cook, you may want to hone your culinary skills and take an online course in New England cuisine. If you enroll in an online school, you will receive a login account where you will get the daily lessons as well as take the dialy quizzes. There are no practical laboratory tests in online courses so every grade must be relied on your quiz answers. In a New England cooking course in particular, you will know how to cook clam chowder, lobsters, sea scallops, oysters, blue mussels, soft shell clams and razor shell clams converged together in one traditional dish called clambake. In clambake, these shells are steamed and are mixed with really nutritious and yummy ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, corn cobs and sausages. Of course, sausages in New England are not your usual pork sausages which are high in fatty content. Oftentimes, New Englanders add some beer into the steaming process. Beer has an alcohol level which is good for the heart.
Aside from shells, New Englanders also love to eat cod and baked beans. For desserts, there are a lot of homegrown fruits there such as grapes, maple, apple and cranberries. You will learn all of these stuff in a cooking course online whether you’re from the Philippines or from Spain. Then later on, you can transfer to a really profitable job as a chef in any of the New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachussets, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont.
It is not just their yummy and nutritious cuisine that New England is known for though. It is also known as a haven of models. Casting agents from Hollywood oftentimes go to New England to look for models whether they are in their teens or in their 60s. No, don’t raise your eyebrows there. The geriatric models are used for television commercials for geriatric products. Did you know that Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl was discovered in New England? You too can be a model by simply enrolling in an online modeling course. And after six months of grueling online tests, you can now pass yourself off as a model. So whether you’re located in Connecticut or in Hawaii, you can be a natural model if you’ve completed diligently the online course in modeling and you can later be discovered.
Or maybe your forte is in grasping the nuances of the English language. You simply enroll online all the stages of the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) – basic, intermediate and advanced – and you can be an accredited English teacher in countries where English is not the primary language. These are just a few of online learning opportunities for 2008.
