Rebecca formerly worked as a marketing manager, selling home loan packages to large banks. When she lost her job, it was very difficult on her and her family, but now she is carving out a new path that may offer greater stability in the future. Rebecca, who lives in New York’s Capital Region with her husband and children, has decided to leave the cubicle for nursing school. At the same time, she continues to work, finding spare moments to study for her nursing courses during work breaks. It is a grueling schedule, but one that Rebecca believes will ultimately pay off.

Rebecca says: ‘You have to roll with the punches. You have to roll with the times, and you have to see what jobs are in demand.’ | • Watch Video
