College Full Time Classes Students School Workers Programs Education

Many people who drop out of college "regret" (feel bad about; wish one hadn't done something) their decision later in life. They wish they had more experience and education so that they could get a better-paying job, but they don't "feel at liberty" (believe they have the freedom or ability) to stop working and return to school as full-time students.

Fortunately, full-time workers have many "non-traditional college options" (ways to attend college without being at school all day). Many programs offer classes in the evenings and on weekends. These classes are designed for older students who are already "in the workforce" (working in jobs).

Other full-time workers choose to "enroll in" (begin participating in a school program) online degree programs. These programs allow students to study on their own and take classes online using video technology to listen to lectures and ask questions of the teachers. Some of these programs require that the students go to the institution "periodically" (sometimes; from time to time) to take exams, but "for the most part" (mostly) students can study from their home or office.

Still other full-time workers can take advantage of workplace training opportunities and continuing education. Some employers organize courses in the workplace, so that employees can take classes before or after their "shift" (the period of time when one works) or during their lunch break. Many of these courses are "subsidized," meaning that the employer pays part or all of the registration fee "on behalf of" (for the benefit of) the employees, as long as they continue to perform well in the classes.
