2011-04-24

HOBOKEN, NJ, April 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) If the close to 40 million Americans with some college credits returned to school to complete their degree through online education, America would take a significant step forward toward meeting Obama's goal of 60% college degree attainment by 2025. With that in mind, eLearners.com offers its Back to School Survival Guide with tips and advice for adults reticent to take that first step back to school.

According to recent research by eLearners.com, the top reasons for those with some credit resisting degree completion include:

- Getting too old
- Do not have the confidence to re-enroll
- Health problems
- Lack of funds
- Currently employed and making lots of money
- Would not have the time with current job
- Would take too long
- Have children and don't have the time
- Just can't fit work and school into schedule.

- Advice to make back to school a family affair
- Tools and tips to be head of the class
- Jobs and career development issues
