"After years working as a Customer Service manager, I realized I wasn’t feeling challenged or fulfilled. I researched several schools in my area but felt like every one of them was more interested in money than in getting to know me and helping me understand what I could get out of my education. Then I found NHTI! The admissions team walked me through the enrollment process and asked questions about who I was and what I wanted for my future. They acknowledged that my work experience was an advantage and not time wasted like I’d believed for so many years. After visiting campus, I was confident and honestly felt like I had found a community that I fit right into! I have to admit, that making the change from full-time employee to full-time student at 35 years old was scary! There were moments of panic when I imagined sitting among teenagers, struggling to keep up. Walking into my first class, however, I was relieved to find people of all ages. Gone is the notion that college is for twenty-somethings. NHTI showed me that college is for everyone and there is a path forward for anyone interested in pursuing an education."
