Employer Bias
Some companies have a bias against online degrees, to some extent, but it should diminish as more individuals with online degrees enter the job market, with hiring managers more exposed to and aligned towards online learning themselves.
Online degrees are in no way lesser than regular degrees, and people who are already working do not even have an option to take a regular degree.

Paleontology
National Geographic defines paleontology as “the study of the history of life on Earth as based on fossils.”
This means the remains of everything from single-celled living ...
Paleontology encompasses many subdisciplines
These include:
- the study of microscopic fossils (micropaleontology)
- the study of fossil plants (paleobotany)
- the study of pollen and spores produced by land plants and protists (palynology)
- the study of invertebrate animal fossils (invertebrate paleontology)
- the study of prehistoric human and proto-human fossils (human paleontology)
- the study of the processes of decay, preservation and the formation on fossils (taphonomy)
- the study of fossil tracks, trails and footprints (ichnology)
- and the study of the ecology and climate of the past (paleoecology).
Paleontology is a scientific necessity
Paleontology is the study of the history of life. Because that history is written in the fossil and geological record, paleontology allows us to place living organisms in both evolutionary (life-historical) and geological (earth-historical) context.
It is this contextual background that allows us to interpret the significance of characteristics of living organisms, and the significance of biological events occurring today.

On Critical Thinking
Critical thinkers need the knowledge first
Employers need critical thinkers, but they cannot find them.
Focussing on knowledge only in college does not seem to help. Neither does it help to only focus on intellectual and cognitive sk...
The focus of skills over knowledge
Considering the K-12 system, we see that the emphasis on skills over content has changed the curriculum. Students increasingly focus on learning skills, but they may not learn too much history or science.
Critical thinking is not enough on its own. It needs to be used to gain insight from studying meaningful subject matter, like history or economics or physics or chemistry.
Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is a disciplined activity. It is not something we can acquire without intensive study and practice, nor can we isolate it from knowledge. Knowledge is foundational to provide the structure to do deep thinking.
Only with some background knowledge, can we apply the skills of critical thinking to problems and texts, understand the strengths and weaknesses of arguments, and offer creative solutions.

How to Monetize Your Passion
Monetization is the *final* phase of a project
Monetization is the last thing that happens in the whole creation cycle. All the work has to be done upfront though. And even if you have cash, all of this needs to happen without even a min...
Be Clear On Your Passion
Your passion is what you want to spend your time doing and not some random vision written on a blackboard in the sky that you somehow need to “discover”.
Ask yourself what you love doing day in day out, because ultimately this is your passion.
Align Your Passion With Your Skills
If you pick your industry based only on how much money you think you can make, then you can expect to always be chasing the money.
If you take the time to align your day-to-day passion and your skills, you will flat out make the rest of the process much easier.
