Five years ago, Rachel Lopez graduated from college with a degree in history. Today she works for a large software company. Now twenty-seven, Rachel takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the computer program PowerPoint. “I enjoyed college, but my job doesn’t use information I learned when I was doing my degree,” Rachel says,” This course is helping me to do my job better. In the future, I might go back to school and got an MBA. ”
In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common.

With many classes now available through the Internet, it is easier for people to get degrees or training by distance learning.
