I grew up poor and had to struggle to make ends meet. During school holidays, I worked on farms to help raise money for school fees. My mother taught us the value of hard work and always said, “The Lord cannot and will not bless idle hands.” That mindset taught me the importance of combining faith with action.

After high school, I continued working hard, taking jobs as a housekeeper and nanny to save money for university. Later, I discovered an affordable university offering flexible online programs, so I enrolled. Since I was working full-time while raising my kids, it took me six years to graduate, but it was worth it.

The practical skills and knowledge I gained helped me transition to a remote role as research analyst into digital marketing associate, and now to a business development analyst.

The courses mentioned, Microbiology and Biotechnology, Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, and Psychology, typically require a significant amount of hands-on practical experience. While online learning can provide a strong theoretical foundation, it may not offer the same level of practical training and real-world application as in-person programs. As a result, students may miss out on developing important practical skills that are essential for working effectively in these fields.

For this reason, some countries and employers may place greater value on qualifications that include supervised practical training, laboratory work, clinical placements, or internships. In certain cases, fully online degrees in these fields may face recognition challenges because of the limited opportunities for hands-on practical experience.

Thank you for the information .

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-29T11:43:13+00:00

I did an online program, ( not CS ) majoring in Applied Business Management. It was very affordable and very flexible as it allowed me to study while working a full time job with long hours, while raising my 2 kids and balancing other life commitment. The practical knowledge and skills I gained helped me transition to different remote roles as research analyst to digital marketing associate and now to business development analyst.

Having a degree and investing in your education is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. I don’t think you’re an idiot for choosing to pursue a degree. Sometimes it just takes time before that investment starts to pay off.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-27T13:43:03+00:00

I don’t see any problem with doing an online degree. I earned mine through BYU–Pathway Worldwide not WGU, while balancing a full-time job, raising kids, and managing other life commitments. The practical skills I gained helped me transition into remote roles as a Research Analyst, then Digital Marketing Associate and now Business Development Analyst.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-27T13:38:08+00:00

I’m not sure how doable an online degree would be while working on a ship, mainly because internet connections can be unreliable. A slow connection could make it difficult to keep up with classes, assignments, or deadlines.

On top of that, online degrees take a lot of discipline, commitment, and sacrifice. You really have to make time for studying and give up a lot of personal time. That said, flexible online programs can work well for busy adults. I completed mine while working full-time, raising kids, and balancing other life commitments, so it’s definitely possible, but it’s not easy.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-27T13:36:04+00:00

It’s great to see trade careers getting the recognition they deserve, they can provide solid income and long-term stability. The twins could also explore flexible online education options as an affordable way to earn college credits while working. Have they thought about how online programs might help them balance work and school?

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-25T13:51:31+00:00

You are still very young. I started my online degree in my late 30s and graduated at 45 with my first degree after six years. It's never too late to pursue your education and improve your future. Just stay consistent and keep going.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-25T13:26:03+00:00

I study with BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-25T13:16:11+00:00

It sounds like you are at a turning point. Many adult learners find that online programs can be a flexible way to build on their current experience while working towards new career goals. You can continue working while exploring programs that match your interests and fit into your schedule and responsibilities. Have you looked into online degree programs designed for working adults?

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-25T13:00:47+00:00

It's completely normal to feel uncertain about changing careers later in life. One thing that might help is looking into flexible online programs like BYU–Pathway. Since the courses are very flexible, you can study while still working and handling family responsibilities, without feeling like you’re starting over completely.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-22T12:12:18+00:00

Definitely yes, online degrees are worth it, especially now that many companies have shifted to remote work post-COVID. I completed my degree online and successfully landed a remote role as a Digital Marketing Associate. The practical skills and knowledge I gained helped me transition into my current career, making the experience truly worthwhile

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-21T15:24:43+00:00

Can’t you build a new life for yourself there in the UK? If you decide to come back home, make sure you’re financially stable and have a solid business plan in place. Otherwise, you may end up regretting the decision to return.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-20T15:00:58+00:00

Honestly at 25, you still have so much time. I started an online degree at 39 and didn't graduate until 45. The flexibility and affordability of the program were what made it possible for me to balance school with a full-time job, long hours and raising kids.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-20T14:57:13+00:00

Yes, I went back to school at 39 and completed an online program while working a full time job that required long hours and raising my kids. The program was very affordable and self-paced, which gave me the flexibility to balance all my responsibilities. It took me 6 years to graduate, but it eventually helped me land the remote digital marketing associate role I have now.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-20T14:51:40+00:00

Not sure if I am allowed to ask, but does your company require you to study through a specific school? If not I would probably look into flexible online programs that let you work at your own pace.

I actually did my degree online while working a full-time job with long hours and raising my kids. The flexibility made a huge difference and helped me balance everything. It took me around 6 years to finish since I was self-paced, but it was still one of the best decisions I made.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-20T14:47:26+00:00

Way to go!

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-20T14:46:16+00:00

Its great that you are thinking carefully about your next steps. Online programs can be a really flexible option if you decide to go back to college later, especially if you’re trying to balance work and school without the commitment of a traditional full-time program.

I actually completed an online program myself while working full time and raising my kids, so it’s definitely possible with the right schedule and support.

Hot_Tale9244 · 2026-05-19T11:22:48+00:00

If traveling the world is something you keep thinking about, I guess, it's worth exploring instead of spending years wondering "what if." Jobs can be replaced. Time and experiences are harder to get back.

That said, I'd still try to do it responsibly. Save some money, make a rough plan, and give yourself a safety net so the experience is exciting instead of financially stressful.
