Ep.021 How to Make Distance Learning Work for You and Your Career

#021 – Settle in for a fantastic interview episode where I chat to Sam Evans, an awesome non-traditional student who’s really making distance learning work for her. Sam shares her journey from school to entering the workforce, then from testing the waters with a certificate to continuing into a degree programme. You’ll hear how Sam fits her studies around a full-time job and why distance learning was the right choice for her busy life. You’ll also learn what Sam’s doing to combat some of the disadvantages of distance learning – the difficulty in making friends, feeling isolated at times, and the limited opportunities for practical, hands-on subject experience. Sam’s really taken action to get the most out of the time, energy and money she’s investing in her studies and it was really inspiring to see how she’s making distance learning work for her and her career. I’m super excited for you to hear this chat and learn some strategies you can put into practice. To get the links and shownotes for this episode, head to: https://chloeburroughs.com/episode21.
