Hawaiians with a degree or specialized training make more money than those without, whether they have certifications, two year, four year or advance degrees they are at an advantage. Employees looking to get farther ahead will have an easier time if they have a degree, than if they do not.
Maybe you have already been considering returning to school to finish a degree, or to start one, but you cannot seem to find a college offering the course you want or need for your degree. Or maybe you have found someplace offering those courses, but it is on another island or somewhere even farther away. Hawaii, online education can help you gain access to those classes via the Internet. The classes could be taught anywhere, but you can remain home in the Hawaiian Islands and attend a virtual classroom online.
Virtual classroom by the way doesn't always mean you have to be on the computer at a day or time, often classes are self paced and entirely self motivated and you head to the virtual classroom to ask questions of the instructor or work with fellow classmates, also to get course materials and turn in assignments. So you can attend class and do your assignments as your schedule permits, which beats rushing to a regular classroom at set times every week or missing lectures and having to hunt down someone who took good enough notes to copy and supplement what you missed.
An online education is a convenient way to get the education you need without having to travel to find classes and without having to make huge adjustments to your already busy schedule to fit in times to go to classrooms lectures, labs and still find time to do homework. Although it costs money like other traditional education settings, financial aid is available to help cover the cost of your tuition.
