Take Ivy League classes

Because when else will you get a chance to wrap your mind around Neo-Confucianism? Class Central has compiled a list of over 400 free Ivy League courses currently available online right now. From the pragmatic and analytical (brush up on Constitutional Interpretation from Princeton) to the utterly esoteric (Monteverdi's L'Orfeo and the Birth of Opera from Harvard, anyone?), you'll wow your friends and family on those virtual dinner parties with your newfound knowledge.

If you want to get a new job after the #coronavirus blows over, start preparing now.

🛠️ Build your skills.

🔊 Build your reputation.

🌐 Build your network.

Your career success depends on all 3 of these.

Stay home. But don't despair.

Use online tools to build these today.
