If I could tell my younger self anything, itd be to dress better and be more professional. In sales especially, first impressions are a very big deal. I was surprised to learn how strict the dress code can be, even in sports.
I wanted to earn my bachelors degree before taking these next steps, and Im glad I chose UL Lafayettes Health Promotion and Wellness program. I can take these skills to any work setting I go to.
I never felt lost. Even online, I always had someone to reach out to. The professors in the health services administration program do a great job of making sure students feel supported and connected, and I ended up making some great friendships through the online program, too.
My friend was surprised I felt the need for an MBA with all of my work experience. But I told her, Why not have both? Why not show that I can do the work and have the degree to back it up?
Being full-time can feel like a lot to keep up with, but I was able to do two classes each eight weeks and still maintain full-time status. It just makes the workload more manageable.
Being organized is key in this program. Having a set plan of due dates allowed me to complete my assignments on time and even be able to complete some ahead of time.
"I was looking for a flexible program geared toward my goal of becoming an occupational therapist. UL Lafayette had a kinesiology program that was online and accepted all of my credits. That was a huge plus I didnt have to start from scratch.
