I have been working in a non-government organization (NGO) for about five years now.  I love the environment setting of NGOs.  Unlike working in a corporate setting where rat-race could get very stressful, the NGO environment is full of nice people who are socially responsible.

But my problem with NGO is that work is sometimes not stable.  What I mean is that most NGO workers are based on project from a certain funding agency.  If a project lasts for five years, then after that, there may or may not be another project and that means there could be a gap in one’s employment.

I recently went to a college marketing and enrollment services department in a college near me to inquire about degree programs in human services.  I learned that it could be expensive to enroll there.

My friend told me about how he obtained an internationally-recognized online masters program at a much cheaper cost and how he could work while studying.  I wasted no time looking for an online education myself and I found a school that offers an online human services degree.

I will be enrolling next year and my studies will be simultaneous with my current NGO work.  For sure I can apply what I will be learning and if in case my project with the NGO ends and no project comes in immediately, I can always apply for another job that deals with people nearby.
