Career changes are becoming increasingly common, with most millenials expecting to stay in one job for three years or less. If you’ve been working in the same field for a number of years and are feeling dissatisfied with your career, I’m sure you can understand why people are frequently returning to school after a number of years in the workforce.
If you’ve decided that a different field would be a better fit for you, going back to college might be the first step to beginning the career of your dreams. But the idea of giving up a paying job to go back to school can seem daunting at best, and impossible at worst. If leaving your current job is what is holding you back, consider taking classes online!
Distance education has come a long way from the days of mailing a package of coursework back and forth. Online learning portals are sophisticated, convenient ways of communicating with your instructors, viewing course materials, and submitting your work. Online courses can save you hundreds of dollars in textbooks and materials because you can view and submit most of your work online.
