Working Moms Get Ahead Using Online Education

(ARA) – Four years ago, Lynne Williams never would have guessed she would be starting a career in accounting. She was single, didn’t have a college degree and was struggling to make a living for herself and her four children as a receptionist at a doctor’s office. Even with putting in additional hours of overtime, she still could not make ends meet.

“My job just wasn’t working out and I would come home frustrated every day.” Williams recalls. “I was not a pleasant person to be around.” That’s when a friend told her about online degrees. “She told me about how she could study at home while her kids were sleeping,” Williams says, “I thought, if Sandra can do it, why not me?”
