Attending college involves a lot of hard work and dedication. For many students, there was a gap between high school and college, or they took other routes, or had to balance school with other priorities. These students, including many at Herzing, must think about the families they take care of, the full-time jobs they have from 9-to-5, or other responsibilities beyond school. For them, earning a degree is an especially major time commitment.
Managing your time can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. The resilience and motivation that Herzing students show every day is inspiring. While students are capable of maneuvering through school independently, having the right resources available can ultimately help save time, reduce stress, and ensure that you don’t feel like you’re going it alone.
At Herzing, Career Development Coaches are available for every student and graduate. Consistent encouragement and assistance allow students or alumni to receive high quality career support whenever they need it. As a career coach, I have worked with many students on resume reviews, job interview prep, and addressing the full spectrum of questions they have along the way. We work with students and alumni to present the ultimate best look to employers so they can be successful when applying to their next big position. Among my favorite areas to assist with include:
Our Career Development department is just one of the many on-campus and online resources that can help students and alumni achieve the careers they’ve always wanted. One of the greatest joys for me and my colleagues is seeing our students become the most successful versions of themselves. It is inspiring to see students start school with a little bit of uncertainty and cross the graduation stage full of confidence and ready to excel in their desired position. Are you next?

BLS pay estimates calculate the median annual wage for various occupations. Per the BLS the median wage for an occupation is: "The wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less. Median wage data are from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey." Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2024. BLS median wage estimates do not represent entry-level wages and/or salaries. Multiple factors, including prior experience, age, geographic market in which you want to work, and degree level and field, will affect career outcomes, including starting salary and earnings as an experienced employee. Herzing neither represents that its graduates will earn the median salaries calculated by BLS for a particular job nor guarantees that graduation from its program will result in a job, promotion, particular wage or salary, or other career growth.
