“It took me a couple of decades to obtain my Bachelor’s in General Studies. Even though I did not start in a General Studies Program, I found that this program meant my needs. I initially started college at IUSB when I was 22 years old. Over the course of many years, moves and different employments, I finally landed in Indianapolis and finished my Degree at IUI in General Studies when I was 40 years old.
A person’s life takes different twists and turns and not everyone can find their way in four years. Family issues, financial concerns, new life and deaths form a person’s destination. I have worked at many different positions my whole college career, and General Study’s courses assisted me with advancement in these positions.
Currently I have been employed at a Federal Institution in Finance for the past 15 years. I encourage both men and women of any age to continue to strive and grow and attain as much education, from a college, University, trade school, or even internships. Any knowledge gain assists us in becoming the adults we want to be in our personal lives and in our careers.”
