Earning my Kelly Direct Online MBA degree has helped me both personally
1
00:00:15.620 --> 00:00:16.453
and professionally
2
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:21.160
Stay at work, have three kids juggle life, juggle family. Um, the,
3
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.520
the Kelly program was, was the best fit for me and the number one, when
4
00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:25.560
I look back at my journey,
5
00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:30.320
the two moments that stand out in particular are both of my Kelly on campuses.
6
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:35.120
We got the opportunity to work with companies that had real problems and were
7
00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.200
looking for solutions to implement. I got
8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.960
To do an immersion program. The
9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.440
Study abroad in Thailand for me was one of the key highlights for my experience.
10
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:42.720
The
11
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:47.040
Grease program, the immersion programs. It was amazing. It changed my life.
12
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.720
I think the biggest thing is, uh, the network of people that I met.
13
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:54.720
The topics that we've covered and the lessons I've taken away have really made
14
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.120
me an all around better person and business leader. If
15
00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:02.000
You are considering the Kelly Direct online degree, just do it.
16
00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:04.640
It really, really is life changing.
