Are you looking for a better way of learning to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings? I know you will want to use this method…learning with video aids. The biggest and the best advantage are replaying the videos as often as needed.

If you are like me, attending classes is wonderful, but the downside is memory retention. When you put into practice what you learned in the classroom you realize that you forgot half the lesson that the teacher taught and your notes which seemed clear during class time is now nonsensical.

Benefits of learning with videos are:

Envision yourself being able to make beaded jewelry. Making beaded jewelry will open many interesting avenues as a new hobby or as a career.  As you search for your interest medium you will discover many beautiful objects that are incorporated into this form of art.

What type of beaded jewelry would you like to make?

Visualize yourself making these beautiful jewelry pieces with your skilled hands and your creative designing talents making personalized gifts for friends and relatives.

Take time to study jewelry catalogs. I have discovered that this will help you to get familiar with terminology and give you a jump start when asking for jewelry supplies. It’s a shortcut if you do not want to walk the retail stores to see what is currently fashionable.

Knowledge is power. Read and acquaint yourself with the history of jewelry making. Nowadays there is a big interest in vintage or antique, retro, estate and beaded jewelry. Learning the origins from primitive to present day will stir your imagination and help stimulate your creativity into originating new jewelry designs.

Visit bead stores to learn about origin, size, colors, luster, and cleaning of pearls and other types of beads.

As you walk about the store you will see beads of glass, acrylic or plastic, crystallized, fabric, and resin. Natural beads of wood, nut, certain plant seeds, bone, horn, and teethh are available. All types of sea shells or sea life like sea horses, starfish and fantasy mermaids have been molded and finished in readiness to be fastened to chain or beads.

Both bead stores and craft shops will also have artificial metals imitating silver, gold, and copper. For instance, copper mixed with zinc becomes brass. Mixing silver, copper and a bit of gold makes sterling silver. Copper can be alloyed into bronze.

We have discussed some of the wonderful advantages that university life and educations present. However, we must in turn discuss some of the other disadvantages that are associated with university learning as well. While we discuss these you should keep in mind that they do not by any means indicate that you should give up on your higher education goals, only that you should view your educational process with realistic expectations.

When compared with the community college system the very first and most distinctive disadvantage that comes to mind is the high cost of upper education on the university level. Community colleges are simply more cost effective all around than universities. The costs go well beyond that money that would be spent on room and board making the tuition alone cost prohibitive in many cases. While there are many types of financial aid available to students the vast majority of college students in this country make ends meet through the use of student loans, which must be repaid at quite a hefty interest rate, in order to cover the costs associated with university educations.

Beyond the one obvious disadvantage there are a few other disadvantages that bear mentioning in this particular circumstance. First of all, universities do not have the small intimate classroom settings that literally set community colleges apart. In fact, for lower level course, most universities offer large auditorium classes that are taught by graduate students rather than professors and more often than not the students never get to know those who are charged with their education on more than a nod and smile while passing in the halls basis. This method for learning is considered by many to be exceptionally inferior and the statistics prove that students who go straight into a four-year college environment rather than going through a community college first are far less likely to complete their degrees.

If that isn’t enough of a disadvantage, many people find that the impersonal atmosphere of most universities is quite limiting when it comes to interaction with other students. The smaller classroom environments of community colleges invite interaction between the students in the class. An open line of communication within the classroom is greatly preferred to having so many students that no one gets a voice or the ability to voice their opinions or personal experiences when it comes to certain topics.

Another disadvantage to university life is the sheer size of university campuses. Community colleges tend to be much more compact. This means that students have a fairly decent chance of making it to all classes on time and without the worry of walking 2 miles in ten minutes. While this is great for physical fitness, missing the first ten minutes of class each week can limit the educational process that your university experience should be providing. It seems like such a small thing on one hand but when you are hauling around a day’s worth of textbooks and a laptop–that hike can be the thing that marines seem dubious about accomplishing.

While there are a few distinctive disadvantages to university life, the fact remains that graduation from a university is the single biggest way to increase your earning potential over the course of your lifetime. The amounts are by no means insignificant. I highly recommend whenever possibly that you attend community college for the first two years of your college education. Beyond that, I strongly urge you to consider the value that completing your education and getting a four-year degree can provide.

If you wish to build self-confidence, earning potential, and job security, there is no way of doing so that is superior to getting a four-year degree. It doesn’t matter where you are in life or your career; it is never too late to begin getting your education. There are so many things in the world that a good education will open your eyes to in addition to the doors of opportunity a four-year degree will open.
