Going back to school is really challenging as an adult. I don’t think that’s a secret. You have to overcome issues with time management, work life balance, and other commitments. It doesn’t matter if it’s an associates, bachelors, or masters, all of these are challenging. Going back to school for a doctorate during a pandemic though is on completely different level, however, there are those crazy people out there who are finding ways to continue writing their dissertations while avoiding burn out, and one of those people is my friend, Ryan Ivers. Ryan is a leader in competency-based education and online instructor at SNHU and he’s also a doctoral student at Northeastern University. He’s projected to finish by 2021, and I asked him to come on the show and reveal just exactly how he’s doing this.
