Online Learning Offers Some a Second Chance at College - John LaMar, US News
With online education, those who once left college can return to school while also working. Since starting at Oregon State University Ecampus, I have been much more successful this time around at completing a degree. Here are three lessons I learned after returning to school through online education.
1. Not everyone is ready for college at 18 years old.
2. A few years of real-life experience goes a long way.
3. Don't give up.
The takeaway: It may take time, and it may seem insurmountable, but for both your career and yourself, you should give your education another shot through online learning. You might just surprise yourself.
