“I was working full-time but still wanted to go to school. That’s one thing that attracted me to this program – you don’t have to give up your life and family in order to do it. Yes it’s hard, it’s not an easy program, but when you’re getting your doctorate, how easy do you want it to be? That is part of the reward in the end.”
