I have great admiration and respect, for people with mad skills in professional career fields, rich (not the money type) life experiences and immense knowledge. Let’s explore ‘12 free Science and Business research resources‘. 🙂
Mind you, one can also have a higher education but be an absolutely horrible person, and disrespect, or prey upon others. We’ll go hide over yonder, if we see one of those, okay?
Bloggers Write Experience, Education and Skills
Do you ever wonder about bloggers? They too are educated in various fields, and develop partnerships with others, educated in different fields. They work together, and provide awesome content for your enjoyable consumption.
Many businesses hire Bloggers to provide content too. Feed the brain! Arrgh! (that growl sound) braaain! Remember that movie?
Bloggers do a lot of reading about their niche topic, or, as in my case, read about more than one niche, then make an outline, organize it into a fabulous and coherent, epic post, all for you. Speaking for myself, it feels good to know, somebody may find my post, helps overcome a problem, or two, and maybe, learn something new and talk about it with confidence.
