Has anyone been taking any courses or academic upgrading on the side? either to improve your work or to switch fields? How are you handling the workload?

I am currently taking a PT course in the evenings to hopefully get work in the medical admin field and I am TIRED, especially after hustling all day.

No, I haven't had the energy to deal with that this winter. I give you credit for doing it, it must take some real effort. I've been thinking of taking an AI course, but I haven't yet decided how to proceed. Google offers one that looks interesting, I may try that in the spring.

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I hope it will all be worth it!

yeah i just finished a full shift, taking care of my baby , and then once shes asleep im working on classes to get a certificate in a different field. i just remind myself its tough but im tougher

I go to a French class twice a week, plus there is 5-6 hours of at-home work to do. That already feels really overwhelming for me, and it's a "fun" class.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
