He then moved to the healthcare industry. He currently provides medical communications services at AHN-Forbes Hospital. Brian has a lot of experience and an undisputed work ethic. And yet he found himself unable to move forward in his career.

鈥淚 realized I鈥檇 gone as far as I could go with an associate鈥檚 degree,鈥 he said. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 not ready to stop working.鈥

Brian liked the idea of earning an online degree for the convenience and flexibility.聽 As he researched degree programs that might work for him, he found himself leaning toward local colleges with online programs for working adults.聽

鈥淚 wanted to know that I could go to an actual campus and talk to a person if I needed help with something,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 want to have to rely on getting someone on the phone or online every time I had a question.鈥

After inquiring about 亚洲无码鈥檚 online Healthcare Administration bachelor鈥檚 degree, Brian was surprised to get a call from someone he knew.

鈥淚 wanted to know that I could go to an actual campus and talk to a person if I needed help with something.鈥

鈥淛ulie Warnick called me.聽 Her son and mine played baseball together.聽 I had no idea she worked at 亚洲无码.聽 Turns out she鈥檚 the head of the department that helps online and graduate students get started. She said 鈥業 can help. I can answer whatever questions you have.鈥 So we went to breakfast one day and she explained how everything worked to me and my wife.聽 She helped me through all the steps to getting enrolled.聽 I still call her sometimes when I have questions.鈥

Another pleasant 亚洲无码 surprise involved the cost of tuition.

鈥淚 have a friend who is attending a big online school.聽 When I told him I had enrolled at 亚洲无码, he said I could save a lot of money at his school.聽 So I asked him what he was paying.聽 Turns out my 亚洲无码 per credit cost was less than what he was paying.聽 Plus, he can鈥檛 get any in-person support because his school is based so far away. I definitely feel like I have the better deal.鈥

Brian is enjoying his college experience so much he鈥檚 considering staying on at 亚洲无码 for an MBA in Healthcare Administration. That鈥檚 not to say, however, that it鈥檚 always easy.

鈥淚 had to do a group project with classmates who were all traditional students.聽 They assigned me a PowerPoint presentation.聽 I had never done it before. I said, 鈥楬ey, why me? Why the old guy?鈥 They just laughed.聽 I figured it out though. Not saying I鈥檓 a professional but it turned out a lot better than I expected.鈥
