While at Missouri Western, she began working for the local news station, KQTV, and discovered that the demands of a full-time job in media made it nearly impossible to take classes as well.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget put her education on hold to pursue her career, but eventually discovered not having a bachelor\u2019s degree was holding her back. She returned to Missouri Western in 2015 to earn her Bachelor of General Studies degree, a unique program that is designed to help students with some college credit craft a general degree to maximize their existing credit hours and graduate sooner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinishing my degree at Missouri Western gave me the opportunity to get a job that could be another long-term career for me,\u201d relates Bridget. \u201cI was able to find success and work my way up in my first career, but getting that degree was about finishing what I started. I was really proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With her bachelor\u2019s degree, Bridget found a new career. She became director of communications for the St. Joseph School District, then external relations administrator for Omaha Public Schools.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/827"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1107,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/827\/revisions\/1107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/completion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
