Online Education (Free)

Did you know in some countries, post-secondary or higher education is free. Yes, FREE! No money needed. What?!?

In Canada and the United States, many students go into debt for going to post-secondary. Denmark, a country across the other side of the world, or 7,600 km away from my city of Vancouver offers free education! If you are an international student participating in an exchange program in Denmark, your education is free too. Wouldn’t that be great if education was free in Canada and the United States?

Free Online Courses

Before jumping into a full-time program and getting into debt, try taking a few courses here or there. Coding isn’t for everyone! Imagine coding 40-60 hours a week, and if you think you can do it, go for it. Still not 100% sure, consider taking some free online courses in development, UI or UX schools for additional learning before making that big commitment. Why pay for a class if you don’t have too?
