That lady is freaking awesome.

This is incredibly inspiring. Way to go!

Wow, good on her!

And now I'm going, hunh, maybe I should look at online courses and try to get a Master's or something, because I feel like a slacker.

[crossfire]

My partner did his Master's in an online program. It worked great for him and his fellow students. (There's a lot of "Oh, online programs, aren't they for slackers?" attitude out there, but their program was fully accredited and impressively rigorous.)

I'm looking at online mainly because I'm not in America any more, and any classes for getting a masters in translation where I am would be geared towards people going in the opposite translation direction from me. XD;; I'm sure there are some good ones out there, and hearing it worked out well for someone really nudges me in that direction a bit more. :D
