Online Student Interview: Barry
"It became a personal goal to get the degree behind me, so that I wouldn't miss another opportunity just because I didn't have that piece of paper."
Barry has worked in a number of different fields, holding various positions and gaining valuable experience every step of the way. When he entered the world of academia, however, he was not able to move up in his position because he lacked the educational credentials. Since he has earned his degree online, he has been promoted and earning much more than his original salary.
"I learned so much while involved in my course work, and I'm probably better at my job because of it — Don't give up. It was literally twenty-nine years from the time I started working toward a degree and actually graduating."
Read about the experience of this 47-year-old who earned his degree after nearly thirty years.
