No matter your academic pursuit, it helps to know there are those who have blazed the trail before you. If your path to career happiness means changing jobs, you are in good company. These success stories prove that a career change could turn out to be the smartest move you ever made.

Online Education and the Complete Career Change

Gary Witover knows the value of online learning. During his career in the United States Air Force, he had to earn a degree in order to advance in rank, but he couldn't attend traditional classes. Online learning was the answer. After taking courses in electrical engineering to benefit his work in the military, Witover turned to "hybrid" courses to pursue his physician assistant degree.

"There are a lot of things in life I couldn't have done if it hadn't been for these programs," he said. "For an adult this seems like a good alternative."

The Advantages of Flexible Online Learning

Gorana Urlic loves the flexible schedules that come with online learning. A copywriter with a background in painting, she made the decision to move into graphic and digital design with the help of online education.

Working at an accelerated pace that suits her lifestyle, Urlic even took three months off to explore Australia, and her classes were waiting for her when she returned. If she had chosen a traditional college route, she would not have had such a luxury.

Too Busy to Earn That Degree? Think Again!

Jeremy Wilmott was working as a busy restaurant manager in Bermuda when he decided on a career change. He took courses to earn his certificate in web design, and though he found the schedule to be challenging at first, he soon figured out how to fit his college courses into a busy lifestyle. He was so thrilled with the benefits of online education that he chose to upgrade to an Advanced Web Design certificate.

"I hope to be done with my program within the next four months," he said. "This is the timeframe that suits me."
