"I attend professional conferences and meetings whenever possible to keep my knowledge and skills current. I read trade magazines; carry them in my car to read during down times so I can keep abreast of trends, issues, and new rules and regulations."

Learning is a lifelong process. There are many ways that you can earn credit, certification, and knowledge in your field. It does not have to be something as time consuming as a degree. Something as simple as attending a company workshop also counts as professional development. Your employer may offer options for you to participate in trainings. Educational materials are also available through professional organizations and conferences.
