Cleaning out the inbox on a Saturday morning and I ran across this …
Skip Journalism School: 50 free open courses
I’m a big proponent of education, so I don’t advocate skipping school to take some free online courses. (The title is just marketing anyway, right?) On that note, if you are in journalism school I highly recommend taking some business and computer science classes. Actually, no matter what you’re majoring in, business and computer science should be part of your electives if you’d like to be relevant in your career.
The Online College site behind the link also has other interesting offerings, such as 50 awesome Ivy League lectures all about the future and Tools for a tough market: 100 resources for college grads.
So if you have nothing going on this weekend you can have yourself an online learning party. Enjoy.

Well I personally chose the wrong major in college. So I am learning my way through blogs, webcasts and podcasts. I am all for learning and teaching myself what I should have chosen as a major before!
Great advice. I use very little of what I actually learned in college on the job. Most of my skills were learned through trial and error, because the college experience is so watered down.
