As our economy continues to give us problems it is important that we educate ourselves.

Education can further advance our careers, as well as provide us with the tools needed for an alternative career.

The issue with education is that it can be expensive.  Well, it doesn’t have to be.

Being that this is the LISaves site, I will not waste your time with expensive options for education.

Instead I want to inform you of some programs in Long Island that provide education at reasonable costs.

The least expensive education option that I found is continuing education at certain high schools in Long Island.

Here is the link to Bethpage’s Continuing Education site.

These programs are very inexpensive and are usually taught by individuals that have a deep interest in the subject.

Another option is the continuing education programs that are offered at our community colleges in Long Island.

There are many options available in their continuing education programs.

Here is the link to Nassau Community College’s Continuing Education program

Here is the link to Suffolk Community College’s Continuing Education program

Then, on a more career focused educational level we have our Boces schools.
