Online Learner Profiles: Carole

Profiles of Real Online Learners

Guide to Online Education > Online Education In-Depth > Meet Real Online Students > Carole, B.S. in Business

Though she was all set to go to the land-based university, "I even had my parking pass," she exclaims, she switched gears and took the online route instead.

"I applied online. It was so easy. There was no running around. They did everything for me." The enrollment process was complete within days.

Before long she was hooked. "I love being in school, and I love doing it online," she enthuses.

"I don't have to drive, find a parking spot, or deal with a bunch of personalities." The ease and the relative anonymity appealed to her as well. "I don't have to raise my hand. And I can wear whatever I want!"

"I use a lot of what I've learned," she says. "It makes me take a look at the way things are done. I do a lot of research [at work] for class. I send out questionnaires to management. I get pretty good response."

She pulls competitive research as well. And she is not shy about presenting what she feels should be implemented. "I'll chat with a VP sometimes about ideas."

At an age when some women are considering how to scale back and coast into retirement, Carole is ready to face demands and new challenges.

"I am always under the gun," she says good-naturedly. "I always have reading to do. I always have homework to do. I always have a paper due."

On occasion after a long day of work, she does need a little motivation to tackle her reading.
