I always tell the kids I coach that its OK if you want to get into the workforce, but you have to get an education. Whether its online, on campus, I dont care. Just get an education.
Online worked so much better for me, because I can sit in a classroom and not get anything from it. But put me in a curriculum, tell me to go do the work for myself and do the reading, and I can pick up on it. But compared to in-person classes, you have to be a go getter, or it's just not going to come to you.
With online classes, if I get it, I can go through it faster. And if I don't get it, I can take more time and figure it out, you know? So, working at my own pace helped with not getting too bored or not getting too behind.
I was really wanting to go back to school, but I was working full time at a job that I love. When I saw the online management program, it was just perfect for me, especially because I live an hour away. It was almost like fate. UL Lafayette had just started the program and that's exactly what I needed.
