ONLINE SCHOOLS

This time of year is all about giving to others.

But it is difficult to give to others when you feel that something has been left undone in your own life.

Many who have not earned their college degree live everyday with the regret of not having finished college.

According to a recent study by  Johnson, Rochkind, Ott and DuPont, entitled “With Their Whole Lives Ahead of Them”, 65% of students who dropped out of college have given a lot of thought to going back to school.

Over half of those students have not completed their degrees because they work full-time jobs and/or have family commitments, according to the study. Interestingly, only 26% cited ‘not being able to afford it’ as the primary reason for not earning their degree.

Online degrees fit perfectly into the schedules of those who work full-time and have family obligations. The mission of online schools is to cater to the needs of adult learners - those who are juggling their responsibilities and need extra attention during the application, enrollment and financial aid process. Accredited online schools usually assign a counselor to each online student to help them with any questions or problems throughout the time they are enrolled in the school.

Students in online degree programs may cozily sit at their home computers and complete assignments at their convenience. That way, school assignments do not have to interfere with work hours or family time.

The gift of a college education to oneself ultimately provides the student with greater potential for higher earnings and greater life fulfillment.

And a prosperous, satisfied college graduate is in a great position to give to others.

So, why keep putting it off — give yourself the gift that keeps on giving.
