You woke up one morning, particularly this morning, and looked in the mirror to realize you needed a change. A new skill set that would allow you to advance professionally and financially.
The voices of your mother, father and childhood role models like Big Bird replay in your mind. "Be your best!" "Reach for the stars!" "Finish your education!" Propelled by grief and guilt, you enter your favorite search engine and type, "Education in Wichita Kansas." You are returned with results that reach numbers like 4,224. There are familiar faces like Newman University, Friends University and WSU. The other 4,221 are mingled with clever 3rd party advertisements from web hosts far beyond our 316 area code.
Overwhelmed, many will stop there. Others will narrow the search and seek accelerated programs like Vatterott WTI or WATC for programs relevant to the Wichita job market.
These institutions invest heavily in their web presence with clear and concise multimedia. They do well to keep you informed with Twitter, Facebook and text alerts. These resources play a great role in the final decision stages.
As you hastily reach for the phone and then your pocket book, you remember the kids and the second shift job that will not allow you to take the classes.
In an age of technology, I'm sure you can guess what education is doing this week to accommodate your busy lifestyle. See you then.
