"I really thought that was the route I was going to go," says Brenda, now 49.

Paul Hastings Wins Online BSBA ScholarshipAt 22, Paul Hastings may be the same age as many traditional college graduates, but this nontraditional student and online BSBA candidate from Lubbock, Texas is on a different journey than his friends.

For one, most of his high-school friends are finishing up their college degrees.

Paul will be starting his fully online Bachelors of Science in Business Administration at Thomas Edison State College in the fall. And also finishing it.

Unlike his peers, he's been working full-time over the past two years, and he currently serves as a political analyst at a non-profit. It's a job many recent college grads would be thrilled to have.

It wasn't Paul's choice to put college on the back burner -- his father asked him to hold off on college when his grandmother's illness put the family in a financial bind. But he doesn't regret the decision.

"I feel like I gained," says Paul. "I don't feel like I've missed anything ever."

Despite holding a degree in elementary education, it was hard for her to get a foothold in the wavering job market, and her experience in that temporary job left her reeling.

"The way things ended with my last position just made me look at myself as a teacher, and ask 'How can I improve, and become a better teacher for my students?'" she says.
