Engineering Degree Online | My hairdresser knows for sure

Posted by bposton on November 14th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

I got my hair cut the other day, and I started a conversation with the girl, er lady that cut my hair.

Her name is Alicia, and she’s already figured out the online degree thing.

Alicia will be finishing up her undergraduate degree in Religous Studies, and then she’s going to get her Masters in Organizational management.

As soon as she mentioned her plans for a graduate degree, i asked her if she had ever considered getting a degree online.

“Oh, I’m definitely getting my masters online” she said without hesitation, “it’s the ONLY way to go…”

So I gave her an honorary membership into the online degree dorm room :-)

Yea, my hairdresser knows for sure - online degrees have come of age. Especially when considering a graduate degree. I see ads and billboards all over touting one online graduate degree program after another.

And Alicia knows the score. She’s going to stay home with her growing family, keep working, and earn her masters in a short period of time. Then she’ll be off to the races.

Problem is, she probably won’t be cutting my hair after that - which is bad news for me :-)

Engineering degree online - a success story

Posted by bposton on October 20th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

I read about this the other day and thought you
might like to hear this success story of someone
who earned their online degree.

Actress Kristina Sisco of Ventura County, Calif.,
entered the online program at Thomas Edison State College
and completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

If you follow the soaps on TV, you may know the name.
Sisco received two Emmy Award nominations for her work on
“As the World Turns,”.

Although persuing acting, her passion is to be a professional writer.
Earning her degree gave her the chance to attend auditions, which,
she said, led to a role in the upcoming motion picture “The Flock,”
starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes.

Even better, she was awarded an Arnold Fletcher Award and induction
into the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society, and she has also
been accepted into the Master of Professional Writing degree program
at the University of Southern California.

So Kristina is well on her way to reaching her goal, and the degree she
got online was a great stepping stone.
