Being married to a Naval Strike Aviator is wonderful, but not without its challenges sometimes. Military spouses face a variety of challenges - from being both mother and father when the spouse is deployed to supplementing the family income. Now I am a Stay at Home Mom (thank you Jet Pilot for that!!), but I know quite a few women that are working moms/military wives and its a huge juggling act/stressor. But finding a good job shouldn't be one of them. We move so much that sometimes getting retrained for portable careers and work-at-home jobs is the best option for us. It is why many military spouses go back to school for retraining so they CAN have a job wherever we go. And online schools provide the necessary education that is both affordable and portable. Its a fact that today there are almost 4,000,000 students – more than 1/5 of all higher education students – taking at least one course online. Well Ashworth College has realized that and started outreaching to military wives and mamas!! YAY!!
