Changing Your Career : 8 Tips To Help You Make That Move!

We have absolute, incontrovertible evidence that our degrees change lives. Just check the facts in this article and you’ll be convinced. We’re delighted and humbled every day by our graduates who tell us in unsolicited testimonials just how much their Almeda degree has improved their lives.
Take Casey Grey, for instance. Casey languished for years in his job with a leading management company in Los Angeles. “I was their best employee, but without a degree, they couldn’t promote me.” Just two weeks after earning his B.S. degree in Facilities Management from Almeda, Casey was promoted to West L.A. District Supervisor, given an $11,000 raise (to $41,000 a year), and provided a company car. That’s the power of an Almeda degree!
How did he do it? We asked him that very question and from what he told us, we’ve distilled his road to success down to 8 vital steps:

1. Realize you must make a change. Casey had an ever growing sense that he was going nowhere fast and only a radical change would get him somewhere, rather than nowhere. As with just about anything in life, you first have to make up your mind to do it before you can actually do it.
   
2. Research your options. Casey then spent a lot of time researching his options—from simply looking for another job, to starting a new career, to realizing he liked his career—he just wanted to go higher and enjoy a better paying position within the same industry. So he knew he needed a B.S. degree.
   
3. Choose Almeda. After determining he wanted to earn a B.S. degree, Casey checked out about 10 different colleges and also found the following information about Almeda online:

• Contact Almeda. After reading all that positive information, Casey knew his choice was obvious. He contacted Almeda and discussed his career aspirations with their knowledgeable staff.
  
• Follow Through on the Program. They told him exactly what he needed to do to earn his degree and then it was just up to him to do it—which he did!
  
• Earn Your Degree. Casey earned his B.S. degree by proving his skills and work experience to one of Almeda’s NAOAA certified Life Experience Assessors. After going through the appropriate steps, Casey was awarded his degree. “It was the happiest day of my life,” he said with a big smile on his face.
  
• Shop Yourself with your New Degree. Casey was prepared to send out his resume and look for another job, but he didn’t have to. He simply showed his employer his new degree and earned that enormous promotion and raise in just two weeks time! You may not be quite as fortunate, of course, but you can surely find a better job than you currently have once you secure your Almeda degree.
  
• Enjoy the Fruits of Your Degree. Once you earn that degree and find that better job, then you can enjoy the benefits that come with it—more money, more respect, and more security. Not to mention the priceless feeling of self-esteem and accomplishment in knowing that you took action and got what you wanted—a college degree and a better life!
