Be careful about choosing certifications and credentials (Udemy, &c.)
I know many of you will find this new Wall Street Journal article about certifications and skills credentials of interest:
Key takeaways:
"...most programs deliver few material returns, a new study finds."
"These certificates, digital badges and other nondegree credentials have proliferated as more academic institutions and other providers spot a lucrative business."
"Many credentials don’t provide a pay boost or lead to a career transition."
"Just one in eight nondegree credentials delivered notable pay gains within a year of completion."
And probably the biggest takeaway:
"A lot of credentials are being designed based on a loose understanding of what it takes for somebody to get hired in the field."
