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.
