The International Community of Today
Today we live in a highly interconnected, globalized world. Every facet of our lives is affected by the fact that we are part of an international community, and not just individual nations with no common link or cause. While on the international stage there may still be violent disagreements between different countries, cultures, and political ideals, there is now far more that unites us than divides us. We are all embroiled in the same struggle with our fellow humans, a struggle for freedom, peace, and prosperity.
However, it is not always easy to make sense of the subtle and delicate interplay between all the different cultures and forces that exist on the Earth. As much as we would all like to get along effortlessly and to join forces in trying to make the world the best place that it possibly can be for us all to live in, the world is just more complicated than that.
Online degrees are a wonderful development in the field of education, they allow for anyone to study from home, to better themselves, and expand their options for the future. Studying an international relations masters degree online opens the door for anyone to learn about international relations. While online degrees are much cheaper than their campus counterparts they aren’t free, and for many people the expenditure is still significant.
In this article we take a look at some simple things that you can do to earn money towards studying an international affairs masters.
Get a Job!
Ok so this one might seem too obvious to be worth mentioning, but the reason that many people don’t choose to find a job as a way of earning money for their degree is because they assume they will have to quit once they start studying. You can choose to find a position that only requires a few months of work and then leave to pursue your studies, or, owing to the flexibility of online degrees, you can continue to work while you study. Most universities, such as Norwich University, allow students to study either part time or full time. Part time studying is perfect for those who want to work while they study.
Sell Old Stuff
We all have clutter lying around out homes, stuff that we have amassed over the years but no longer have a use for. This stuff can be a potential goldmine, one that many of us don’t even realize that we are sitting on. Even the stuff that seems to be of little value to you could be worth something to someone else, it is always worth listing your unwanted items online. You can now even sell stuff through Facebook.
Work Odd Jobs
Sites like Craigslist or Fiver allow anyone to post an ad offering their services for odd jobs. They are a great way of earning a little extra cash. Obviously you aren’t going to make any life changing amounts, but as a way of earning some extra cash to put towards your studies they are very effective.
