School is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!
Sorry…whether you want to hear this or not, school IS two weeks away.
You probably already having your course schedule all sorted… but if there IS time to make changes, LISTEN UP:
Experts have weighed in on the most important courses to add to your schedule, REGARDLESS of what your major is. They include:
1. Intro to programming, or coding: This is increasingly a more important skillset to have. Even if you AREN’T maj0ring in computer science, it’s good to know the basics.
2. Marketing or branding: Basically everything in our social media world relies on knowing how to promote YOURSELF. Hello! 77% of job recruiters rely on Linked In, so you better know how to SELL YOURSELF when using networking apps like that.
3. Graphic design: Knowing how to use something like Photoshop will give you a leg up for lots of different jobs. Plus…think of all the memes you can make.
4. Intro to statistics: This isn’t just so you can bust out an impressive STAT at an opportune moment – it’s just a good thing to have basic knowledge of.
5. English: Knowing how to effectively communicate is important, no matter what the job is. You know what gets a resume tossed out REAL QUICK? Bad grammar.
6. Personal finance: Why wait until College or University to learn this – we should be starting in high school, if not sooner.
But Hot Country listeners have added a few other courses to the list, and we couldn’t agree more:
