Is Starting an Online Business Administration Degree in 2026 a Strong Career Path?
Hello, I am planning to begin a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2026 at UoPeople, an online university. My long-term goal is to pursue a strong career in business or possibly continue to a master’s degree in a well-ranked, in-person university. I would appreciate professional insight on a few points: How does a Business Administration degree look in terms of career prospects in 2026 and beyond? What skills should I focus on developing alongside my degree to stay competitive? Are there any reputable external scholarships (outside the university itself) that support international students pursuing online undergraduate studies? Would starting online limit my chances of entering a top master’s program later? I am especially interested in long-term growth, leadership opportunities, and building a strong professional profile. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

What kind of technology skills did you pick up as a history teacher?
10th grade, interested in us, and world history. I want to go to bgsu or terra in Ohio to be a history major.
Where do I go from here?
I am not a student, technically speaking, but rather a mid-life professional seeking more of a specific direction with my career. In brief, I obtained an international PhD in a field related to the humanities and published my research as a monograph. However, after approximately five years of applying for teaching positions I was not able to obtain a position beyond an adjunct role teaching online for low pay at two schools. I currently hold two-part time jobs: both of them recently passed me up for promotions, and one has just started laying people off (I'm feeling quite vulnerable in that regard). Aside from the pursuit of higher education, I've honestly been 'lost' as far as what other direction might be worth pursuing in which I would thrive. I am not even sure what questions to ask, but I would certainly appreciate any thoughts, advice, willingness to make new contacts, or any other assistance that you might deem valuable. It will be much appreciated. Thank you!
