4) Continuing Education to Advance/Change your Career

Community colleges and numerous universities offer certificates and education for working professionals to advance their career or learn a new trade. One of the four things an employer looks for in a prospective candidate is "continuing education" and this can carry as much or more weight than a college degree (except where a degree is required such as in the sciences, education or as an accredited professional, i.e. CPA, attorney, physician, etc.).
