How Erica Earned an IT-Security Bachelor's Degree Online at WGU

www.wgu.edu/online_it_degrees/... - WGU Class of Summer 2013 graduate Erica is from Bushkill, Pennsylvania, and earned her B.S. in IT-Security from Western Governors University. Her first foray into college education was in the performing arts, but through her years of working in various fields she recognized the "computer nerd" hiding inside her. But she spent 15 years working jobs that didn't lead where she wanted to go, always "allowing life's distractions to stop me." WGU gave her the opportunity to earn her degree despite those distractions-and her mentor helped her stick with it when the going got tough. Now she has that long-awaited bachelor's degree and is coming back to WGU to earn her master's.

I didn't have a dime to pay for college. But if you find a low-cost college and a degree that pays you back because of what you can do because of it, you come out on top. Yes, you have a loan, but you are making enough to pay it back and more. Don't let anything in this world tell you no.
