He huakaʻi pilikino nō hoʻi kāu huakaʻi kulanui. ʻO ka mea kūpono no kekahi, ʻoiai kekahi me nā pahuhopu ʻoihana like, ʻaʻole paha ia kūpono iā ʻoe.

Aia ʻelua ʻano o ke kēkelē laepua a me ʻelua ʻano o ke kēkelē puka.

ʻO ke kēkelē laepua… Ke koho ʻana i ke kulanui, paipai nā mea noiʻi ʻoihana ʻo Michael B.

No ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hoʻohālikelike a nā mea kākau, ua like ia me ʻoe e hoʻolimalima nei i ke kulanui e kiʻi i kahi mea nui nou iho.

COVID-19 accelerated the adoption of remote learning, and today many colleges offer remote or hybrid learning options that provide flexibility that can be especially helpful for students who want to hold down a job while earning a college degree.

Remote learning options may also help reduce the costs of getting a degree, reducing travel and living expenses and perhaps lowering fees too.

Ke loli nei hoʻi ke ao o ke aʻo ʻana i ka poʻe hana. Ke hoʻopilikia ʻia nei nā pilina kuʻuna ma waena o nā kekelē koleke a me nā hana maikaʻi e nā ʻano hana hou, pilikino a maʻalahi hoʻi i ke aʻo ʻana i ka hana.

College decision making can sometimes feel overwhelming, but whatever you study in college today and whatever degree you get now, you’ll probably need to learn new skills in the future, possibly for jobs or careers you never imagined would exist!

Putting yourself in the driver’s seat, learning about occupations at your local career center, chatting with a skilled and compassionate Academic Advisor, and not being afraid to find the degree program that will deliver on the learning and personal experiences you want — these are all positive steps that will help put you on a path to both satisfaction and success.
