Execs-Turned-Entrepreneurs Find Biz Classes Helpful - Entrepreneur.com
"When W. David Hellyer, 50, took the plunge into self-employment in 2004, he had a bachelor's degree in business administration and psychology as well as 26 years of experience in corporate America, including many years as the general manager of a manufacturing company. Yet one of his first moves after co-founding Kadat Partners LLC in Pinegrove Mills, Pennsylvania, was to contact the Penn State Small Business Development Center office and sign up for its basic business classes.
Why in the world would such a clearly talented, experienced and successful businessman spend time studying business basics at that point in his career?"
College Degree Still Worth Investment, Economists Say - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"What's worse than being 12 years out of high school and on your way to having $40,000 in debt?
Being 30 years old, with no college degree, making $15 an hour.
That's why Jesse Mullan has taken a risk and gone back to college, sitting in classrooms with college juniors who were 8 years old when he graduated from high school in St. Paul, Minn., in 1994.
Mullan, who expects to graduate from college in 2008, figures that taking on debt to further his education will pay off. He expects to triple his hourly pay shortly after collecting a degree in computer science from the University of Minnesota, allowing him to pay off his school loans in no more than 10 years.
'It's better than car loans,' he said.
Mullan is still making a good bet, many economists agree."
Utah's Online Electronic High School Leads The Nation In Student Enrollment - Deseret Morning News
"More than 50,000 Utah students are earning high school credit from their bedrooms, dens and kitchens. And though the Electronic High School may not be the easiest way to earn credits, students are flocking to the program to catch up on classes, graduate early or just fit a few more electives into their school days.
Currently Utah has the largest online learning program in the country. Florida is a distant second with just over 20,000 enrolled.
Richard Siddoway, principal of the Electronic High School, said Utah had a jump on the rest of the nation in establishing the program. While other states started creating online courses in the late '90s, the program debuted in Utah in 1993 — before Netscape, Explorer and other browsers."
