It doesn’t matter whether you learn IT skills online or offline if you don’t know why you’re learning or you don’t have goals. Not only goals but correct goals. Before selecting the online course, online educational platform, degree, or anything to learn computer skills, make sure you have the goal.
Importance of having Goals for Learning:
It’s very important. If you don’t know why you’re learning then someone will tell you to learn it. When the learning goals are set by others for you then you will not become passionate. You will lose interest in that course even after paying $1000+ fees. And this is also one of the big reasons behind unemployment and lack of entrepreneurship among people or students.
That’s why it’s important that you know what you want to do after learning. It can be that you liked what others tell you. You can become successful. But don’t do that only because someone is telling you to do that. You have to figure out what is best for you. And on this website, you will learn all about all the bests skills, learning methods, guides, and tips especially related to the computer, the internet, and information technology.

For example, if you’re learning apps development – then your goals can be to build 100+ apps in the next 2 years or business through the app. And I suggest that you never set your goals related to getting a job and certificates. I know certificates and jobs are important in some cases.
Getting a job is easy through campus placements programs and certificates in the private sector.
But you will not get a promotion, improved income because of your placement and certifications. You will get it because of your creative and creation skills.
So, if you don’t want to become a trainee after college then become a trainee while you’re learning. And you will become it when you focus on the correct goal. I think your goals are not to get a job or more money as an app developer. Your goals are to become the world’s best app developer.
And if you focus on building apps then it’s possible that you will be get hired by any big or small company such as Google or new startups. It’s because you will get hired based on your skills and creations. And in another way, you will complete the course after 3 years and till then you will keep passing your time and keep getting demotivated each month 3 to 4 times and more.
I am not saying don’t complete your course. I am saying to focus on the creation, syllabus, skills, knowledge, ideas, opportunities, inventions, innovations, and problem-solving while doing any computer programming, designing, marketing, and even basic computer courses.
I am 500% sure that if you focus on the creation (Building apps, content, designs) you will learn more, fast, accurate and you will be successful in whatever you do.
