Do You Feel Stuck in the Wrong Job?

According to a recent study conducted by Conference Board, approximately 52 percent of American workers feel stuck in their job. Do you also feel unfulfilled, but you’re unsure what to do?

A quality online master’s degree is often the ideal solution for those seeking change in their careers, says Dr. Fawn McCracken, Dean of Crown College’s School of Online Studies and Graduate School. It can increase job satisfaction and get you “unstuck.” But, how will you find the time? For most working adults, time management is a never-ending challenge. The kids need a ride, your boss keeps asking you to work late, and the rest of your life? Well, it somehow “just happens.”

Fortunately, advancing your education isn’t as impossible as it seems! There are degree programs designed for busy adults—offering flexible schedules and affordable tuition. The online format provides a robust learning experience, and its unique structure helps students balance their workloads and everyday life.

“Students can access their assignments online at a time that is convenient to their schedule,” McCracken says. “That provides a lot of flexibility for those who travel for work, face variable work schedules, or need to accommodate important family activities.”

In terms of affordability, McCracken says financial aid is readily available. In fact, 97 percent of adult students qualify, and the tuition for graduate programs is surprisingly affordable.

Maggie Unger-Hess, Director of Enrollment at Crown College, explains that students can even take one or two courses at a time, and most courses run only seven weeks long. Students can specialize in areas like counseling, ministry leadership, or attain an MBA without the burden of sticking to a set schedule.

Stewardship is a biblical concept that applies to everything in our lives. As it relates to our careers, we are called to maximize our potential. So, don’t stay stuck in a job that leaves you unfulfilled. A master’s degree at a Christian college can strengthen your faith and transform your life.
