7 Affordable Ways to Further Your Education After College

By michele debczak | feb 2, 2016.

Once you've walked across the graduation stage—after spending most of your life as a student—the thought of continuing your education after college is likely banished to the dusty corners of your mind. But a diploma is no excuse to stop learning, even if your formal education has come to an end. There are plenty of ways to continue broadening your horizons as a post-grad without adding to the mountains of student debt you’ve already accrued. 

1. TAKE FREE CLASSES ONLINE.

Online education tends to get a bad rap, but some of the most prestigious universities in the world now offer college courses through the Internet to anyone who wants to take them. And the best part? A lot of them are completely free. 

One major example is edX , a MOOC (massive open online course) provider that hosts courses from dozens of respected schools, including Harvard and MIT (the platform's founders), Columbia, the University of Texas, and the Sorbonne, to name a few. Classes starting this spring include Finance for Everyone: Smart Tools for Decision-Making  (University of Michigan), World of Wine: Grape to Glass  (University of Adelaide), and Mastering Quantum Mechanics Part 3  (MIT). And if you’re looking for something to show potential employers, you can pay a small fee to receive a certificate verifying your completion at the end of the course.

2. ATTEND LECTURES.

A college classroom isn’t the only place you can go to hear educational lectures. Bookstores and museums often host talks, readings, and discussions that are likely much more stimulating than what you experienced in your 9 a.m. lecture hall. Whether you’re interested in social media or the World Refugee Crisis , there’s an expert out there who’s waiting to share their knowledge with you. 

3. TAKE FIELD TRIPS.

Field trips were hands-down the best part of being a student, but that doesn’t mean adults can’t take them, too. Gather together a group of like-minded friends and set aside a day to visit a museum, aquarium, planetarium, or historical landmark in your area. Or better yet: Go alone and really take your time soaking in the sights.

4. JOIN A BOOK CLUB.

After college, you no longer have a professor assigning you books to read and deadlines to finish them by. This can feel freeing at first, but finding the time to read for pleasure amidst the chaos of adult life isn’t always as easy as it looks. Joining a book club will motivate you to stick to your reading habit and also give you a forum to discuss your thoughts on the book once you’ve finished it. If you live in a larger city, you may even be able to find clubs that are tailored  specifically  to your favorite type of literature. And unlike formal literature classes, you won’t need to show up with a 10-page report in hand.

5. SIGN UP FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSES.

If you miss the structure and one-on-one engagement that comes with a traditional classroom setting, there’s still a way to get that experience without breaking the bank. Most community colleges offer semester-long courses for just a few hundred bucks, which is roughly equivalent to what a handful of class sessions would cost you at some private universities. That’s a great deal considering any credits you earn at the end will have real value when hunting for jobs or eventually pursuing your formal education even further. 

6. LEARN HOW TO READ A SCIENTIFIC PAPER (AND THEN DO IT).

Ideally, being an adult means being able to form educated opinions about what’s happening in the world around you. Instead of hearing about the latest scientific breakthroughs through blogs and misinformed tweets, give yourself the power to interpret the findings on your own by going straight to the source. Scientific papers aren’t structured like articles or blog posts, and learning how to read and comprehend them is a skill that needs to be learned. This article from the Huffington Post does a good job of explaining how to navigate a primary research article if you have no experience doing so. Once you have that skill mastered, you’ll be ready to tackle any scientific study with confidence.

7. VISIT THE LIBRARY.

The best resource for a free and enriching education is still your local library. In addition to the wealth of nonfiction, literature, and instructional materials available to anyone with a library card, many libraries also offer a variety of services that extend beyond books. Some locations offer resume help , digital downloads, tax assistance, ancestry information, cooking classes, and even telescopes for members to check out. Next time you visit your town’s library, ask the librarian about some of the less conventional resources they may offer.

These 2 Analysts Think Tesla Stock Could Fall Much Further

April 05, 2024 — 06:41 am EDT

Written by Daniel Sparks for The Motley Fool  ->

As Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in a note to investors on Tuesday, Tesla 's (NASDAQ: TSLA) first-quarter deliveries were "brutal." Deliveries fell about 9% year over year and 20% sequentially.

These poor results likely have many investors reevaluating their investment theses on the stock. While some may excuse this lull in Tesla's sales in anticipation of a potential reacceleration in the electric-car company 's vehicle-delivery trends in future quarters, others may conclude it's a reason to avoid the stock.

Sacconaghi was one of several analysts who, following the company's quarterly vehicle production and delivery report, pointed to a 12-month price target significantly below the stock's current price, even though shares have already dropped more than 30% in 2024. Specifically, the firm reiterated an underperform rating for the stock and a $120 12-month price target.

Another analyst with a notably low price target was JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman. Following Tesla's worse-than-expected first-quarter deliveries, Brinkman lowered his 12-month price target for the stock from $130 to $115.

These two analysts' price targets represent about 28% to 31% downside from where the stock is trading today. Let's look a bit more closely at what's behind their bearish views.

The bear case

The two analysts cited Tesla's worse-than-expected first-quarter deliveries as the primary reason for their bearish views on the stock. First-quarter total deliveries were estimated to come in at 386,810 -- down from 422,875 in the year-ago quarter. Analysts, on average, were expecting deliveries of about 457,000.

Brinkman said the underwhelming quarter puts Tesla's premium valuation at risk, as shares currently trade at about 39 times earnings. A valuation multiple like this prices in rapid growth in earnings in the years ahead. Yet the current consensus from analysts is for Tesla's earnings per share to decline about 39% this year. Indeed, the average analyst forecast doesn't anticipate Tesla returning to 2023 earnings-per-share levels until 2026.

Meanwhile, Sacconaghi called out the widening difference between Tesla's quarterly production and deliveries. He predicted this is creating a significant inventory build-up that's likely to show up in Tesla's first-quarter earnings report as a headwind to free cash flow.

What should investors do?

Tesla's declining sales certainly paint a dismal picture for the company and the stock -- particularly considering the pricey valuation at which it trades. But some context makes the situation seem less dire.

The primary culprit for Tesla's sales decline likely has less to do with its products and more to do with the high-interest-rate environment the company is operating in. With about 80% of new and used car purchases financed in the U.S., high interest rates translate to higher monthly payments. This ultimately puts a big drag on demand for new-car sales -- especially when compared to the extremely low-interest-rate environment Tesla benefited from in recent years.

Fortunately, the high-interest-rate environment we find ourselves in today could prove to be temporary. Once the Federal Reserve achieves its goal of getting inflation under control, the central banking system will likely proceed with gradual reductions in interest rates over time. If this happens, it would likely be a material catalyst for Tesla's car sales.

Still, Tesla stock's valuation is arguably too high today to justify buying shares at this time.

For now, investors should consider staying on the sidelines. Sure, there's always a chance that Tesla will end up justifying its stock's current valuation by returning to significant and sustained growth soon. But since it's unclear when deliveries will reaccelerate and how significant that reacceleration will be, it may make sense to avoid investing in the stock at its current valuation.
