Online Courses Help Professional Balance Family and Education - Valley News

Balancing a career and a family can be difficult, and such a task gets even more complicated for professionals who decide it’s time to further their educations. Though it can be difficult to balance all three, many degree programs are now more flexible than ever. In the past, night school was the only way working professionals could simultaneously pursue their careers and further their educations. But thanks to advancements in technology, distance learning has enabled men and women to pursue their educations without committing to night school. Flexible hours that allow students to complete coursework on their own time as long as they meet deadlines for assignments has made online degrees more and more attractive to busy professionals. Students and professors can keep in touch via the Internet, and some online students have found it easier to work with professors online than in a classroom. http://www.myvalleynews.com/story/73217/
