These stories in particular may be of interest:
Who Goes to College? The first piece in the series features a woman going back to Durham Tech. She says:
I was laid off from a job after 20 years of working at Nortel and so I decided - after my kids were all grown - I decided I needed some education. It’s something I always wanted … and now it’s time for me to get the education that I always wanted. …..
With an education, it’s still difficult. Without one, it’s twice as difficult! So that’s why I came back to school, to take me to retirement.
