Karen Guenther
"I work for the Texas State Board of Pharmacy as a compliance inspector, going into pharmacies throughout northeast Texas to make sure they’re complying with state law. I started college at Dallas College right after my son was born.
"With my travel schedule it’s really hard to be in a classroom, and even when I’m in town my work hours are erratic. The strong point of taking courses online is the flexibility and freedom. I can just log on and do my homework at home or on the road in a hotel. Distance learning is the best option for me."
Karen Guenther, who earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing and advertising from the University of Texas at Arlington, is earning an associate degree in accounting through online learning.

“The flexibility is the best thing. I’ve only had to come in to campus for tests. And even though I don’t live that far away, the cost of gas these days is a major factor in my decision to take courses online. Distance learning works for my budget and for my schedule.”

“In the beginning, I was hesitant because I didn’t want the courses to be too easy — I wanted to actually get something out of them. But once I realized my online courses were really challenging, I kept going back for more.”
